The Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) has inaugurated a new Stroke and Private Wards Unit, a significant addition aimed at improving specialized healthcare services in the Volta Region.
The facility is expected to provide advanced care for stroke patients while also offering upgraded private ward services for individuals seeking enhanced comfort during their treatment.
Speaking at the inauguration, Professor Yaw Asante Awuku, Head of the Sub-Business Management Center at HTH, emphasized the hospital’s commitment to expanding healthcare access and improving patient outcomes.
“The early aspect of stroke management is very important—that is what our team has been equipped with. We have doctors who are well-versed in this field, and I must say the expertise is there. But the little things—very important—like positioning the patients, monitoring their swallowing, and providing overall care, our team is now well-equipped to handle,” he stated.
The Medical Director of HTH, Dr. Emmanuel Kasu, highlighted the hospital’s focus on enhancing service delivery, noting that the private wards would offer a more personalized healthcare experience. He stated that the addition of the private wards aligns with the hospital’s goal of improving patient-centered care, ensuring that those who require premium services receive the best possible treatment in a comfortable setting.
The inauguration ceremony brought together key stakeholders, including hospital management, healthcare professionals, and traditional leaders, who lauded the initiative as a major step in boosting the region’s healthcare infrastructure.
The new Stroke and Private Wards Unit forms part of HTH’s broader expansion strategy to enhance its status as a leading referral center in Ghana. Hospital authorities have assured the public that the facility is fully equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and staffed with highly trained professionals ready to deliver world-class healthcare services.
