Government Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu has announced the commencement of land preparation for the construction and equipping of a new 400-bed Mother and Child Block at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. The landmark facility, part of President John Dramani Mahama's renewed investment in major health infrastructure, will replace the existing maternity unit at the hospital.
The Mother and Child Block will encompass a range of specialized wards, including obstetrics and gynaecology, labour and delivery suites, operating theatres, and intensive care units. It will also feature an IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology Centre, as well as clinics for antenatal, postnatal, fertility, and reproductive health care. Nursing and family planning services will also be available on-site.
In addition to patient care facilities, the new block will provide diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and blood bank services. Pharmacy services, a Central Sterile Services Department, as well as physiotherapy and rehabilitation units will also be available. Finally, teaching, research, and conference facilities will be included, creating a comprehensive center for maternal, child, and reproductive healthcare at Korle Bu.
