THE Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Mark Woyongo, has expressed concern over the absence of a municipal hospital in Bolgatanga, the regional capital.
According to him, the absence of such a facility put a lot of stress on the regional hospital, which had to cater for more than one million people in the region.
He, therefore, advocated the construction of a polyclinic to complement the efforts of the current Upper East Regional Hospital in delivering quality health care to the people of the Bolgatanga municipality.
Speaking at the launch of the World TB Day in Bolgatanga, the regional minister said although a project of such nature was started in the late 1970s, it did not materialise.
He announced the Regional Co-ordinating Council’s preparedness to ensure that such a facility was provided to commemorate 50 years of the creation of the Upper East Region in September next year.
“I have no doubt that this will go a long way to address the health care needs of the people of the region,” he said.
Responding to the concern, Dr George Sipa Yankey, the Minister of Health, gave the assurance that everything possible would be done to bring the project into fruition.
The Bolgatanga Regional Hospital is undergoing expansion which will ensure its transformation into a state-of-the-art referral facility to meet the health needs of the people.
