President commissioned the country's largest Urology and Nephrology Centre at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Accra on October 18, 2024.
The €38 million state-of-the-art facility, the biggest of its kind aims to bolster healthcare services, particularly in the treatment of urologic and nephrologic diseases.
Speaking at the ceremony, the president emphasised the significance of the facility in addressing the rising number of urological cases, particularly among men over 40. "This centre is a game-changer in providing urologic healthcare services… "This modern facility will provide advanced treatments for patients with chronic and acute kidney failures, as well as other urological conditions. "The Centre is also positioned to offer life-saving services such as kidney transplants, helping to fulfill our national objective of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). "The Centre will put Ghana on the map for medical tourism, providing services to patients from neighbouring countries and beyond.
This will generate additional revenue for the facility, ensuring sustainability and continued expansion of services," he said.
