President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled plans to transform the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ridge, into a full teaching hospital. This initiative will involve the construction of Phase Two to enhance the hospital’s capacity.
During his ‘Thank-you’ visit to the Greater Accra Region, Mahama expressed gratitude to residents for their strong support in the 2024 general elections. He emphasized that Ridge Hospital will be affiliated with the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, aiming to improve specialist training and reduce the need for referrals outside the region.
Additionally, the President outlined plans to expand Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds to ensure reliable access to primary healthcare. As part of this initiative, accommodations will be provided for health workers at both existing and new CHPS facilities.
This development aims to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve working conditions for health professionals throughout the region.
