The Ghana Medical Trust Fund is actively supervising the restoration of the Catheterisation (Cath) Laboratory at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in a move aimed at strengthening specialised cardiac care in the country.
The intervention is expected to boost the hospital’s capacity to deliver life-saving procedures and reduce delays in critical heart treatments.
As part of efforts to ensure the project remains on schedule, the Fund’s Administrator, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, paid a working visit to the facility.
She was accompanied by the Chief Executive Officer of ADB Ghana Medicals Limited, Mr Adann Benjamin Diaz, to assess the progress of work at first hand and engage with technical teams on site.
Officials confirmed that decommissioning and preparatory works are currently underway, marking a crucial phase in the restoration process.
These initial steps are necessary to pave the way for the installation and calibration of upgraded equipment to support advanced diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund indicated that it is collaborating closely with relevant stakeholders to ensure the project is completed by the end of March.
Stakeholders are adhering to strict timelines and technical standards to guarantee quality delivery.
Describing the initiative as a critical intervention for Ghana’s healthcare system, the Fund reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a hands-on approach and ensuring the successful completion of the restoration project.
