The government in Ghana has officially transferred the construction site for a 160-bed Savannah Regional Referral Hospital to the contractor in Damongo. This significant development is anticipated to enhance the region's ability to deliver specialized medical care and minimize the necessity for locals to travel to distant locations for advanced treatments.
The site transfer occurred on Friday, as part of the government's ongoing efforts to enhance referral healthcare infrastructure in the Savannah, Oti, and Western North regions. The Savannah Regional Referral Hospital, along with similar hospitals in Oti and Western North, is expected to usher in an era of improved healthcare services, offering larger facilities and reinforcing access to specialized medical care.
Moreover, these hospitals are projected to alleviate pressure on existing healthcare facilities and optimize the referral system for patients requiring higher-level medical attention. Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announced this milestone in a Facebook post on Sunday, September 27. The announcement follows the previous announcement of the same project in Mahama's recent visit to the Bole College of Education in the Western North region.
