The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) has continued its needs assessment of selected referral health facilities in the newly created regions, with Day Two of the exercise taking the team to the Holy Family Hospital in Techiman in the Bono East Region.

The visit forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen access to specialised healthcare across the country.

Holy Family Hospital, a well-established secondary health facility under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG), plays a vital role in healthcare delivery beyond the Bono East Region.

The hospital provides specialised services to patients from the Bono, Ashanti, and Savannah regions, making it a key referral centre in the middle belt of the country.

According to hospital data, Holy Family Hospital attends to an average of about 750 out-patient department (OPD) cases daily, highlighting its importance in meeting the healthcare needs of a growing population.

The high patient turnout underscores the need for sustained investment in infrastructure, equipment, and specialised services.

During the visit, the GMTF team assessed the hospital’s existing facilities and held discussions with management on how to establish a strong and effective partnership.

The engagement focused on identifying priority areas where support from the Fund could enhance service delivery and improve patient outcomes.

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund reaffirmed its readiness to work closely with Holy Family Hospital to strengthen its capacity and extend quality, specialised care to patients, particularly those battling chronic non-communicable diseases.

The Fund reiterated its commitment to making a tangible difference by ensuring equitable access to critical healthcare services across all regions of Ghana.
