KATH Mother and Baby Unit 70% complete, stalled for 14 months over non-payment – Project Manager
Abandoned Mother and Baby Unit at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi is approximately 70 per cent complete but remains suspended because of non-payment to the contractor, consultant project manager Emmanuel Fobi Asabre has told Parliament’s Select Committee on Health on Tuesday 13th October 2026.
Asabre explained that the project was being implemented under a design-and-build contract, which places responsibility on the contractor for the design, construction, equipping and eventual handover of the facility to the hospital, including the training of personnel.
Asabre, who appeared before the committee with representatives of the contractor, said the project had been redesigned as a 509-bed hospital, with the original intention of completing it within three years.
