The Minister of Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has announced that the oxygen plant at the 37 Military Hospital is now operational again.
According to the Minister, this development underscores President John Dramani Mahama’s unwavering commitment to enhancing human security as part of his mission to revitalize Ghana.
He stated that this is great news for healthcare services at the hospital.
During a recent working visit to the hospital, Dr. Boamah discovered that the facility’s oxygen plant was out of service, jeopardizing the supply of essential medical oxygen to surgical theatres, Intensive Care Units, various wards, and the National Ambulance Service.
Being a doctor himself, he acted swiftly after the president directed the Ministry of Defence to collaborate with National Security to resolve the issue.
As a result, a new oxygen plant was purchased and installed, ensuring a stable and sufficient supply of oxygen for both the hospital and ambulance services.
“I’m excited to announce that we have resolved the issue thanks to our proactive measures. There will be no bad news,” the defence minister stated in a Facebook post. “We remain committed to addressing challenges head-on, including those stemming from the mismanaged economy.”
