The construction of the 60-bed capacity ward at the Police Hospital in Accra, which commenced three months ago is currently at 45% completion. The whole project will be completed in February, 2026 barring any hitches.
It began with a ground-breaking ceremony by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno a couple of months ago.
The police administration is relying mainly on donations from individuals and organisations to finance the project.
The hospital expansion aims at improving the delivery of healthcare services to Police personnel and the general public.
Meanwhile, the Medical Director in charge of the hospital, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Dr Otu Nyarko, has appealed for more doctors to augment the existing human resource at the facility.
According to Dr Otu Nyarko, apart from medical doctors whose services are needed urgently, other paramedics would also be welcomed to strengthen the staff.
He told The Chronicle that the declared vacancies are attributable to retirements and some of the staff members joining the bandwagon in search of greener pastures respectively.
The Medical Director opined that police would forever be grateful to the government for the ongoing recruitment into the service, which includes the medical unit, so as to alleviate the human resource challenges presently facing the hospital. He also prayed for equipment to support those in operation now.
Dr Nyarko concluded by saying that, apart from the three hospitals in Accra, Kumasi and Tamale (yet to be commissioned), the service also boasts of twenty clinics dotted across the country.
Established in 1976, the police’s premier hospital currently operates a 120-bed capacity wards.
