Goaso residents criticise Health Minister for skipping municipal hospital during Ahafo visit
Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister of Health, failed to visit the Goaso Municipal Hospital during his recent working visit to the Ahafo Region. The Minister was in the region to launch the Free Primary Healthcare Initiative and hand over medical equipment to health facilities but did not tour the Goaso Municipal Hospital, which is the region's largest government referral facility. Residents expressed disappointment, stating they had expected the Minister to inspect the hospital firsthand to appreciate the challenges confronting the facility and assess the urgent logistical needs affecting healthcare delivery.
Residents argued that the Minister missed an opportunity to engage hospital management, staff, and patients to obtain firsthand information on operational challenges. They also criticized regional authorities who accompanied the Minister, saying they should have encouraged him to include the hospital in his itinerary. Residents maintained that the Goaso Municipal Hospital urgently requires improved logistics and infrastructure to enhance the quality of healthcare services. During his visit, Mr. Akandoh participated in a radio discussion, paid a courtesy call on the Goaso Traditional Council, and met with regional and district health directors.
