For years, the Ghana Police Hospital has borne the heavy cost of treating unknown patients and burying unidentified bodies without external support.
That burden has now been eased with the intervention of philanthropist and businessman Alhaji Seidu Agongo, who commissioned an eight-bed facility at the Ghana Police Hospital on December 30, 2025, dedicated to the care of “unknown” patients—individuals brought in without identification or family support.
Hospital officials say the new ward will help ease congestion, improve infection control, and restore dignity to patients who are often neglected.
Beyond the facility, Alhaji Agongo has pledged to support some of the hospital’s quarterly mass burials and to cover medical bills for unknown patients.
The initiative, described as unprecedented, marks the first time a private individual has stepped in to share this responsibility, offering renewed hope to the hospital and the vulnerable people it serves.
