WR Minister launches initiative to build state of the art ICU for Takoradi Hospital

The Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, is collaborating with the Takoradi Hospital to repurpose a female ward into a state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to enhance the region’s critical care capabilities.
Joseph Nelson, who launched the programme as his own initiative said he regretted that a big region like Western region does not have ICU facility.

According to him, ICU goes to the heart of health delivery “and so something urgent has to be done and that is the reason why I decided to come to this facility”.

He appealed to corporate institutions, philanthropists to come on board to give the region a befitting state of the art ICU.
The Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. George Peprah, welcomed the initiative, noting that the region desperately needed ICU facilities, as patients often have to be referred to Cape Coast, which itself struggles with inadequate facilities.
