The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has made a passionate appeal to the government to expedite the completion of the long-delayed KNUST Teaching Hospital project, emphasising its crucial role in enhancing medical education and healthcare delivery in Ghana.
Speaking at the 58th Special Congregation of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Saturday June 28, the revered monarch stressed the importance of the facility in complementing the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for the training of medical professionals. "I often use occasions like this to address university matters, and today, I must speak about my teaching hospital," Otumfuo stated. "Despite significant progress, the project remains unfinished.
This hospital is dear to me because of its unique purpose-it will bolster the training of KNUST's medical and allied health students." Turning his attention to the Vice President, Prof.
Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, who was present at the event, the Asantehene made a direct plea: "Madam Vice President, kindly urge the President to prioritise this project and ensure its swift completion." Read also CJ's ordeal exposes deep-seated disrespect in Ghana's courts - Franklin Cudjoe
