First-ever Cardiology Centre at KATH to be ready by August
A new state-of-the-art cardiology centre at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana is scheduled to open in August. The facility was fast-tracked following the death of a physician who could not access emergency cardiac care.
Why it matters
The project represents a significant infrastructure investment in Ghana's healthcare system aimed at reducing preventable deaths from cardiac emergencies.
A new specialist cardiology centre at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region will be ready in August.
When completed, the state-of-the-art centre is expected to significantly enhance the hospital's capacity to provide advanced cardiac care, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to the government's broader agenda of strengthening specialist healthcare delivery in the country.
Funded by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), it is one of the three centres being constructed, with the Korle Bu and Tamale Teaching hospitals being the beneficiaries of the other two.
Contractors on site indicated that the project is on course, with an assurance that the centre remains on schedule for completion by the end of August to pave the way for its intended purpose.
