Korle Bu's new Cath Lab marks 'better recovery' after 2025 fire setback - Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama described the inauguration of a new Cath Lab at the National Cardio Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as a significant milestone in the facility's recovery following a devastating fire that struck parts of the hospital in 2025. Speaking at the inauguration on Thursday, July 9, he recalled that the fire destroyed several offices and medical equipment, disrupting healthcare delivery. He stated, "The unfortunate fire that destroyed that facility in March 2025 represented a significant setback for our health system. It disrupted services, increased pressure on our clinicians and placed additional burdens on patients and their families."
President Mahama noted that the commissioning of the new Cath Lab was a moment of celebration, stating, "Today, however, we celebrate not merely the replacement of what was lost, but we celebrate the creation of something even better than what we lost." He expressed optimism that the new laboratory would strengthen cardiac care services at Korle Bu and improve access to life-saving treatment for patients across the country. He added that this new Cardiac catheterisation laboratory represents restoration, renewal, and progress.
