President John Dramani Mahama has assured the people of Asanteman that his government will immediately tackle the Sewua Hospital to ease pressure on Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
John Mahama speaking at the first Akwasidae celebration revealed the Sewua Hospital is not operational because there is no electricity or water, and the road to the hospital has not been constructed.
Addressing dignitaries and attendees John Mahama detailed, “The Sewua Hospital is not operational because there is no electricity, there is no water, and the road to the hospital has not been constructed.
“I wish to assure you that we will tackle it immediately and make sure that we can open the doors of that hospital so that it will ease the pressure on Komfo Anokye”, he added.
John Mahama recognized the need for the Sewua Hospital to be operationalised, emphasising that Sewua Hospital would reduce the overwhelming patient load at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
“We need to move some of the patients from Komfo Anokye to Sewua so that we can empty the infrastructure in Komfo Anokye and do the necessary renovations. It is difficult to do the renovations of Komfo Anokye when the hospital is working at full capacity”, President Mahama added.
Meanwhile, Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo commissioned the Sewua Hospital before leaving office despite the project’s contractor indicating the hospital was not ready for commissioning.
