A 25-bed capacity hospital has been
commissioned in Bongo-Soe in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. The
hospital which termed as Ayire Clinic was constructed at the cost of ten
million Ghana Cedis (GHC 10,000,000.00), has a 25-bed capacity, Outpatient
Department (OPD), 4 consulting rooms, pharmacy unit, an injection room, ICT,
and general administration units, a Doctor’s bed resting room, three wards, and
two washrooms.
The aim of the facility is to help
increase access to effective and quality health care for the community members
and Ghana as a whole. In an interview with our gbcuraradio.com in Bongo-Soe,
the Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Ayire Adongo indicated that the facility
is the brainchild of the Savannah Cultural Foundation, a local organization the
seeks to conserve and promote indigenous knowledge through active participation
of rural people in identifying and preserving their political, cultural and
indigenous practices in livelihood security in Northern Ghana.
The Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Ayire Adongo
Mr. Adongo stated that the Upper East
Region contributes greatly to maternal and neonatal mortality in Ghana and
improving this sad situation, where a mother in an attempt to give birth loses
a life necessitated the construction of the hospital as a contribution to
addressing these bad socio-economic development indices.
Fortunately, he added that there are
specialist Doctors from home and in the diaspora such as the United States of
America, Germany, and Ukraine collaborating in the development agenda of a
specialist hospital, a research center, a teaching hospital, and the
establishment of a nurses and midwifery training school. All these individuals
are contributing their quota immensely to the realization of these development
agendas.
The Medical Director of the Ayire Clinic,
Dr. Kofi Asare-Ansah stated that the facility is a dream come through after
years of hard work, determination, perseverance, and focus in achieving this noble
goal of providing health care for all ages to the people of Bongo-Soe and Ghana
at large.
