The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has commissioned four of the five 40-bed district hospitals in the Ashanti Region.

They are located at Dro­bonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains District, Sabronum in the Ahafo Ano South East District, Twedie in the Atwima Kwanwoma District and Suame in the Suame Municipal area.

Also commissioned was the Atafoa-Owabi river bridge project which was substantially completed and taken over in October, this year.

It is recalled that in 2020, the Health Ministry broke the ground for work to commence on the construction of 12 40-bed hospitals in Ashanti, Eastern, Greater Accra regions and one polyclinic at Mim, in the Brong Ahafo Region.
