The Ho Municipal
Director of Health Services, Dr. Atsu Seake-Kwawu has emphasized the need for
more genuine private hospitals to increase access to quality health care in
Ghana.
According to him,
such increase will reduce pressure on the existing inadequate government
hospitals and also create jobs for the increasing unemployed youth. He
was however quick to add that such facilities should go through the required
procedure before starting operations.
He noted that “when
we have more recognized private health facilities it will reduce the pressure
on the government ones and also increase access to quality health care.”
Dr. Seake-Kwawu made
the observation recently during the 20th Anniversary celebration of the Miracle Life Hospital
(MLH), a private hospital in Ho, the Volta Regional Capital. The Hospital
started as a clinic in December 1994 by Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa and his wife
who was by then a nurse, Victoria Letsa.
