Asantehene satisfied with progress of Heal KATH project

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has expressed satisfaction with the progress of work on the Heal Komfo Anokye project after touring Phase One, which is now 95% complete.

In November 2023, the Asantehene launched the Heal Komfo Anokye Project, aimed at raising $10 million to give the hospital a facelift, as the over 70-year-old facility serving more than 12 regions in Ghana was in a dilapidated state.

Following his tour of the facility on Friday, January 31, 2025, to inspect the ongoing work under the initiative, the Asantehene was impressed with the progress made so far, as Phase One of the project is now 95% complete.

The first phase, comprising two floors of Block A, has been fully renovated and furnished, with only the installation of an oxygen bedhead remaining before it becomes fully operational.

Chairman of the Heal Komfo Anokye Project, Samuel Adu-Boakye, disclosed that patients currently housed in the makeshift ward will soon be relocated to the completed section to allow for the commencement of Phase Two.

He assured that the next phase would progress swiftly, as most of the required materials are already available.

While commending contributors to the project, he also appealed for continued financial support to ensure its successful completion.

“We are privileged to say that a lot of people have donated. For us to be able to raise close to 4 million dollars in about six months is something that is worthy to commend.

“All the donations have come a long way to support us however, what is left is more so we will therefore use this opportunity to continuously appeal to all and sundry for those that were skeptical about the use of the money at least you have seen the quality of work that has been done.”
