Inadequate infrastructure and staff to cater for patients at the Wassa Akropong government Hospital in the Wassa Amenfi East district of the western region is hampering effective healthcare delivery at the hospital. Lack of accommodation has become so challenging that a doctor lodges in a hotel as he awaits his permanent accommodation. The wassa akropong government hospital was constructed in the 1950’s as a health center before being upgraded into a hospital status but it’s yet to witness any major rehabilitation The hospital caters for the wassa amenfi east and the amenfi west district plus other surrounding communities. Some health personnel according to investigation refuse posting to the facility due to the challenges facing the hospital. The hospital has no maternity ward so the female ward has been partitioned and turned into a maternity ward which is woefully inadequate compelling some mothers to receive treatment while lying on the floor. An average of 120 births are recorded monthly, leading to congestion at the ward. The children’s ward is equally under-resourced as mothers are, at certain times, compelled to carry their wards on their laps for hours as they receive intravenous infusions and blood transfusions. The hospital has only one resident doctor while an additional medical officer posted to the hospital is now lodging in a hotel as a result of lack of accommodation. The medical doctor of the hospital has converted a section of the main theater to an office to accommodate him. staff numbers of the hospital are so low that, the hospital resorts to employing temporary workers who are paid through the internally generated funds of the hospital. The hospital is now constructing an x-ray centre and a borehole through support from some organizations. Roads leading to the hospital are deplorable making its emergency response readiness very slow. sometimes patients die while in transit to the hospital. Commercial drivers take advantage to either charge exorbitant fares or simply refuse to ply the road. The hospital recorded 7 maternal deaths last year, four of which occurred before arrival at the hospital. The medical superintendent in charge of the hospital Dr. Enerst Anderson called for immediate assistance from both the Ghana health service and the district assembly.
