The government has awarded a contract to Universal Hospital Group (UHG), a 100%-owned Ghanaian company to construct the Obuasi Municipal Trauma Hospital project.
However, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Monday, 4th October 2021, cut the sod for the construction of a 100-bed Trauma Hospital.
It will consist of an Emergency Department with a Triage; three (3) operating theatres, recovery rooms, resuscitation rooms, plaster room, a diagnostics center to include a CT scan, X-ray, fluoroscopy, laboratory, and a blood bank.
In addition, it will include an Outpatient Department, including pharmacy and consulting rooms, public health department, medical administration, 100-beds in total for in-patient wards including trauma and orthopedic ward, 30-beds for other interventions requiring temporary stay, staff housing, and a mortuary.
The construction of the Obuasi Municipal Trauma Hospital is being facilitated by a €55 million facility acquired by the Akufo-Addo government, which will also be used to remodel and construct three projects, namely Atiwa East Hospital at Anyinam, rehabilitation of the existing Obuasi Government Hospital, and re-modeling of the Enyiresi Hospital.
The €55 million facilities, secured through Deutsche Bank, with an insurance premium of €5,000,000 from African Trade Insurance, President Akufo-Addo said, will have a positive impact on the lives of people in the beneficiary communities.
