The new 160-bed Upper West Regional Hospital will be opened to the general public effective January 9, 2020, the Ghana Health Service has announced.
It follows the acquisition of provisional credentialing from the Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) and the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) —making the facility a secondary level referral center in the region.
A statement signed by the Upper West Regional Director of Health, Dr. Osei Kuffour Afreh also indicated that the facility would be opened to the public both clinical and nonclinical services.
The $52 million project executed by Euroget De Invest was commissioned by President Akufo-Addo on August 18 amidst pomp and pageantry.
But for some reason residents and opinion leaders had criticised government on why the facility had not been operational for people to access it.
