GOVERNMENT READY TO OPERATIONALISE THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA MEDICAL CENTRE (UGMC)

Following the completion of work by the Committee set up to operationalize the University of Ghana Medical Centre, the government has set up an Interim Board, chaired by Dr. Anarfi Asamoa-Baah to liaise with the Turnkey Contractor, to test run the equipment and operationalize the facility with immediate effect.

As a first step, the Interim Board between now and July 2018 will complete the staffing process and ensure the provision of final logistics required for a smooth take-off.

Government as Chief stakeholder shares in the public sentiment to operationalize the facility as soon as possible.

It is however important to note that the above processes are completed to provide the best care for patients who will be patronising the facility.

Government has additionally secured funds to construct the Phase 2 of the project which will enable it function optimally.

Government wishes to state its commitment to providing quality healthcare to the people of Ghana.
