Goaso residents appeal to Mahama to address deteriorating state of municipal hospital

In the Ahafo Region of Ghana, residents of Goaso have urged President John Dramani Mahama to urgently improve the condition of the local municipal hospital. The hospital is struggling with inadequate resources despite possessing well-trained medical staff, which they believe has a negative impact on patient care. A local resident told Adom News that the poor state of the hospital is causing people to avoid seeking treatment there, raising doubts about its ability to meet the healthcare demands of the community.

The residents implored the government to allocate the necessary resources to enhance the hospital's operations, emphasizing that the construction of a new regional hospital should not be seen as an excuse to overlook the existing municipal facility which continues to serve the population. They urged the government to take swift action to address the facility's challenges while pursuing its broader healthcare infrastructure initiatives.

At a recent visit to the area, Mahama reassured residents that the government would provide regional hospitals for all newly established regions, including Ahafo, and urged them not to worry, reaffirming the government's commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure nationwide.
