The Ghana Medical Trust Fund is actively supervising the restoration of the Catheterisation (Cath) Laboratory at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, in a move aimed at strengthening specialised cardiac care in the country. 

The intervention is expected to enhance the hospital’s capacity to deliver life-saving procedures and reduce delays in critical heart treatments.

As part of ongoing efforts to ensure the project remains on schedule, the Fund’s Administrator, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, undertook a working visit to the facility. She was joined by the Chief Executive Officer of ADB Ghana Medicals Limited, Mr Adann Benjamin Diaz, to assess the progress of work at first hand and engage with technical teams on site.

Officials confirmed that decommissioning and preparatory works are currently underway, marking a key phase in the restoration process. 

These initial steps are essential to pave the way for the installation and calibration of upgraded equipment that will support advanced diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures.

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund noted that it is collaborating closely with all relevant partners to ensure the project remains on track for completion by the end of March. 

Stakeholders are said to be maintaining strict timelines and technical standards to guarantee quality delivery.

Describing the project as a critical intervention for Ghana’s healthcare system, the Fund emphasised its continued presence and hands-on involvement throughout the process, reaffirming its commitment to seeing the restoration through to successful completion.
