The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Tano South in the Ahafo Region, Emmanuel Kwame Frimpong, has confirmed that the assembly will complete and commission the long-abandoned Out Patient Department (OPD) building at Bechem Government Hospital to enhance healthcare delivery.
Speaking during an engagement with health workers in the municipality, Mr. Frimpong explained that for over 10 years, the hospital—considered one of the best in the region—has operated without a standard OPD, prompting the assembly to prioritize completing the facility.
He noted that the unfinished OPD has been a major challenge to the hospital, and the assembly plans to bring the contractor back on site promptly to ensure its completion.
The MCE also highlighted that the Mahama-led government has prioritized quality healthcare, and the assembly will intensify efforts to provide necessary facilities and logistics for the health department.
He further revealed that 10 percent of the assembly’s Common Fund has been allocated to the health sector, which is expected to lead to significant improvements in healthcare services across the municipality.
