The project is one of the 32 hospital projects ongoing in the Ashanti Region.
President John Dramani Mahama has vowed to expedite the completion and operationalization of the Sewua Hospital in the Ashanti Region. Speaking at the Manhyia Palace on Sunday, January 19, 2025, he outlined plans to tackle the hospital’s pressing infrastructural needs, including the lack of electricity, water, and accessible roads.
The Hospital was put into service before former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo left office, a decision that was criticized by Euroget De-Invest S.A., the project’s contractor, who insisted that the facility was not yet fit for use.
The 250-bed Sewua Hospital is crucial in alleviating the pressure on the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), which is currently overstretched and in need of upgrades. By completing the Sewua Hospital, President Mahama aims to create space for essential renovations at KATH without disrupting its operations ¹.
The President emphasized the urgency of addressing the challenges at both hospitals to improve healthcare delivery in the region. Notably, the Sewua Hospital project is one of the 32 hospital projects ongoing in the Ashanti Region, highlighting the government’s commitment to enhancing healthcare infrastructure.
