President Nana Akufo-Addo has revealed that the government of the day will see to the construction of three additional Infectious Disease Centers in the country.
According to him, replicates of Ghana’s first Infectious Disease Center located at the Ga East Municipal Hospital which was commissioned in July this year, will be built in three regional capitals.
“Government is going to replicate Ga East Municipal Hospital’s 100 bed Infectious Disease Center in Kumasi Takoradi and in Tamale”.
The President further pledged to keep Ghanaians safe from the COVID-19 pandemic and urged Ghanaians to support him in doing so.
“All Ghanaians should rally together and help us win this fight regardless of political and religious affiliations”.
Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia commissioned the Ghana Infectious Disease Centre which was started and sponsored by the Ghana Covid-19 Private Sector Fund at a ceremony in Accra on July 30, 2020.
In a speech before cutting the sod to symbolically open the facility, Dr. Bawumia hailed the remarkable display of patriotism by individuals and corporate organisations, who contributed in cash and in kind towards the construction of Ghana’s first infectious disease centre, located at the Ga East Municipal Hospital.
The construction of the facility was initiated by the Ghana Covid-19 Private Sector Fund in response to government’s call for public support to help contain the Coronavirus crisis.
