President John Dramani Mahama has announced the government’s plans to upgrade the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital) into a full-fledged Teaching Hospital.
According to him, this primarily aims to enhance both medical training and healthcare services
“We will also construct Ridge Hospital Phase Two, which will increase the capacity of that hospital as a teaching hospital in Greater Accra Regional Hospital,” President Mahama stated.
He made these remarks at a durbar of the Chiefs and People of the Greater Accra Region at Dodowa during his National “Thank You Tour” of the region.
The “Thank You Tour” is to enable the President to express gratitude to the Chiefs and People of the Greater Accra Region and Ghanaians, for their massive support for him and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general election.
The President stated that the Greater Accra Regional (the Ridge Hospital) would also have an affiliation to the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons.
This, he said, would enhance specialist training and reduce referrals outside the region.
He said the government would expand Chip Compounds in peri-urban communities like Bortianor, Kpone, Shai Osu-Doku to ensure that primary healthcare is accessible and reliable.
President Mahama added that existing CHPS Compounds and all new CHPS Compounds they would build; they were going to include accommodation for the health workers.
