The Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, says the facility has been receiving patients from outside Ghana, necessitating the expansion of facilities to cater for the increasing numbers.
According to him, aside from receiving and treating patients from 12 out of the 16 regions in the country, the hospital also treats patients from other countries.
“As I said earlier, we have patients flying all the way from Mexico to the Cleft Centre for surgery, telling you the experience and quality of our services,” Dr. Baidoo said.
“What we need now is to expand our facilities to ensure every single patient that comes to the facility gets the needed attention,” he added.
Dr. Baidoo said this when KATH organized inter-directorate fun games for staff as part of activities to mark its 70th anniversary.
Speaking to OTEC News reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng on Saturday, September 18, 2026, at the sidelines of the games, he said management is already using its Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to expand some infrastructure at the hospital.
He noted that the government led by President John Dramani Mahama has also been supporting the hospital with some critical infrastructure projects that will go a long way to save lives.
He assured the public of the hospital’s commitment to saving lives at all costs.
Dr. Baidoo commended the staff of the hospital for their dedication and love for working to save lives.
