The Ghana Gas Corporation has agreed to provide financing to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for the expansion of the hospital's psychiatric unit.
Contractors are anticipated to begin work shortly after the refurbishment project's contracts have already been granted.
With the GH2.5 million makeover, the 11-bed institution will become a 45-bed unit with cutting-edge technology, five electroconvulsive chambers, and larger counselingrooms to provide patients with privacy.
Review session
During the Kumasi 2022 Performance Review Meeting, Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah, the Chief Executive Officer of KATH, made this announcement.
The transformation of KATH to become a patient-centered organization, he claimed, included the refurbishment and expansion of the psychiatric unit.
In order to guarantee the delivery of top-notch psychiatric treatments at KATH, he expressed the expectation that the project will be finished "within the allotted time."
Customer-focus
According to Prof. Addai-Mensah, the hospital administration is aiming to provide patients with high-quality, patient-centered services as part of its efforts to establish KATH as the nation's top option for healthcare.
The Ghanaian patient, he claimed, could no longer be treated as an afterthought because "they are exposed to excellent practices abroad and, consequently, deserve similar from wherever they receive care."
Because of this, he continued, "We at KATH are dedicated to satisfying the clients' taste for excellent and humane treatment at every opportunity."
Measures
According to Prof. Addai-Mensah, several strategies have been developed to help Kath become more patient-focused.
He claimed that among these were the introduction of weekend and holiday duty rosters for directors to maintain management's presence and supervision during those times, the introduction of unannounced visits by directors during working hours to maintain management's physical presence at various operational areas, as well as many other innovative measures to ensure optimal delivery.
He said that throughout the time period under consideration, the hospital's official and residential bungalows cost roughly GH1,670,255 in domestically produced revenues.
