The government has successfully installed new equipment at the 37 Military Hospital, ensuring a stable and sufficient oxygen supply after the hospital’s oxygen plant went out of service.
The plant’s failure had put at risk the delivery of essential medical oxygen to surgical theatres, intensive care units, various wards, and the National Ambulance Service.
During a recent working visit, the Defence Minister was briefed about the situation.
In response, President John Mahama instructed the Ministry of Defence to work with the National Security Coordinator to address the issue.
Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah confirmed that with urgent intervention, the oxygen plant is now fully operational, greatly enhancing healthcare services at the hospital.
“I’m happy to report that the issue has been resolved thanks to our swift actions. There will be no bad news,” Dr. Boamah stated in a Facebook post.
He emphasized that this development is part of President Mahama’s ongoing commitment to improving healthcare services nationwide as part of his efforts to reset Ghana.
Dr. Boamah added, “We remain dedicated to confronting challenges, including those caused by the mismanagement of the economy.”
