Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has raised serious concerns over the poor state of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, popularly known as Ridge Hospital, following an unannounced inspection on Friday, April 11, 2025.
During the visit, the Minister expressed disappointment at the decline in standards at the facility, especially within its emergency department. "This is not the Ridge Hospital we handed over to the former administration.
It must go back to its glory," he told the media.
The inspection revealed that key diagnostic equipment, including the MRI and CT scan machines, have been non-functional for over two years.
