Otumfuo Gets Results: See the current state of the refurbished Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in November 2023 launched the $10 million ‘Heal Komfo Anokye’ project.

The initiative was aimed at raising funds to renovate and modernise the main blocks of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), whose state then was described as terrible and embarrassing by the King.

A video of the works done so far shared by a pro-Manhyia X handle, on January 24, 2025, shows a transformed Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, a little over a year since the renovations started.

The video showed rooms and corridors of one of the blocks completely transformed. New hospital beds and other furniture were being fixed. The roof of one of the blocks, which was falling off, has also been fixed, as well as the washrooms of the hospital. One of the main wards of the hospital could be seen completely transformed, with its leaking roofs and cracked walls completely fixed.

Otumfuo, during the launch of the project, said that the legendary Okomfo Anokye, after whom the hospital was named, would never have allowed something named after him to be this sick.

“The leaking roofs, exposure of electrical cables, cracked walls, are shameful. Let’s all put aside party politics and join hands to fix this embarrassing situation. Collectively, we can raise the $10 million and give a facelift to this hospital,” he pointed out.
