President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commended and expressed appreciation to the COVID-19 Private Sector Fund for providing Ghana’s first ever Infectious Diseases Centre.
In his fourteenth address on measures taken against COVID-19, the President stated: ” In one hundred (100) days, they have provided the first Infectious Diseases centre in our country and we are better able to provide hospital treatment for those in need.
This project has been a good example of the generous Ghanaian spirit that has been exhibited since the onset of this crisis. I extend to the trustees and members of the COVID-19 Private Sector Fund, the profound gratitude of the nation”.
He noted that this “world-class facility” attests to the fact the public and private sectors are able to co-operate to achieve a common goal.
Ghana’s first Infectious Disease Centre was commissioned at the Ga East Municipal Hospital in Accra on Friday, 24th July, 2020.
