Mahama announces expansion of specialist cardiac care centres across Ghana
President John Dramani Mahama announced plans to expand access to specialised cardiovascular care across Ghana through the establishment of new comprehensive cardiology centres in the middle and northern parts of the country. He made this announcement at the commissioning of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. President Mahama stated, "This facility is not an isolated project. It forms part of a broader national strategy to strengthen specialised healthcare across Ghana."
Through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, the government is investing in the establishment of two new comprehensive cardiology centres at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and the Tamale Teaching Hospital. These projects aim to bring advanced cardiovascular services closer to millions of Ghanaians in the middle and northern belts of the country. President Mahama said the planned centres will go beyond basic cardiac services and will be equipped to provide comprehensive care for patients with heart-related conditions, including modern diagnostic and treatment infrastructure such as imaging units, intensive care units, and specialised consulting rooms.
