Resolve Hospital, a private female health facility has been inaugurated in Sakumono to offer females advanced services in gynecology, obstetrics, pregnancy and delivery.
The obstetrical services include full range of services from antenatal through post-natal care including diagnostic ultrasound scanning and the management of high-risk pregnancies.
The gynecological services also include contraceptive management, treatment of menstrual and hormonal disorders, management of uterine fibroids and infertility as well as surgical services.
Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, the Minister for Justice and Attorney General who graced the occasion expressed her surprise at how a couple could establish a hospital with the intention of given women health in such a comfortable environment.
She urged the youth who have passion for entrepreneurship and medicine to emulate the example of Dr. Padi Ayertey and Mrs Linda Ayertey, the Founders of the hospital.
Commenting on how the hospital was built by the couple, Mrs Appiah-Oppong urged the couple to share their life story from where they had such intention to when the hospital was constructed to encourage the youth with similar dreams.
Dr Ayertey said the hospital has 19 wards with majority of the rooms being single rooms for single patient to ensure that a patient feels more comfortable and open to the health personnel.
“Our aim is that if one delivers here and in an advanced country, the person doesn’t see a difference in terms of care among the two. For instance, if you deliver at a health facility in an advance country, the health personnel will not ask you to bring sponge, towel, antiseptic, babies clothes, diapers and same services are offered here”, he said.
He disclosed that they are collaborating with international bodies to put measures in place to replicate the hospital in other parts of the country.
Dr Ayertey noted that the facility was established because they felt Ghanaian women also deserve better health services as women in advanced country access.
He urged the government to provide private health sectors with source of funding that gives them revenue by allowing them to borrow money and invest into their facilities to ensure that they are not affected much as a pure commercial activity.
“ if we could get certain amount of tax wavers especially with reference to the number of equipments we would have to import and if the level at which we are taxed could be re-considered, it will improve the private health sector”, he said.
Mrs Emefa Darkwa, a Lecturer and a client of the hospital told the Media in an interview that she feels comfortable with Resolve Hospital because the staff listen to their clients before actions are taken.
She said the cost of service is moderate because the facility provides comfort with quick health care delivery, stressing that “therefore I will come to Resolve any other day for my health needs”.
