The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has mandated a comprehensive review of all public health facilities in the Oti Region to strengthen oversight and improve healthcare quality.
He directed the Ministry’s Technical Advisor, Dr. Korku Awoonor, to establish a technical working group tasked with evaluating the structural integrity, operational capacity, and overall efficiency of the region’s health facilities. The findings will inform targeted measures to enhance service delivery and ensure patient safety.
The directive was announced during a two-day Ministry of Health retreat and aligns with the government’s broader goal of ensuring public health facilities nationwide meet safety, quality, and performance standards.
In addition, the Minister has instructed MDCEs to oversee and implement cleaning services in all public hospitals across the country.
This initiative seeks to improve hygiene, strengthen infection prevention and control, and foster safer, more patient-friendly healthcare environments.
The Ministry emphasized that the facility audits and cleaning program reflect its commitment to raising sector standards through proactive oversight, improved facility management, and sustained investment in quality healthcare.
