The Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, is appealing to the Minister of Health to prioritise the redevelopment of the Pantang and Danfa hospitals.
The MP says the two health facilities have not undergone any major renovation since their establishment, a situation he says is threatening effective healthcare delivery in the area.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Free Primary Healthcare Post at the Madina Market, Francis Sosu stressed the urgent need for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Pantang and Danfa hospitals.
“I want to use the platform to appeal to the Health Minister to redevelop the Pantang Hospital. The Health Minister used to be the ranking member of the Health Committee in Parliament and I know how he was so active when it came to Pantang Hospital, but by God’s grace, he is the Health.
“Minister, I want to use the platform to appeal to him that we pay a little attention to Pantang Hospital. Beyond what Kwame Nkrumah did, no government has done anything to improve mental health in Ghana, especially with the Pantang Hospital.
“Then the next major problem we have is the Danfa Medical Centre. It is completely broken down. They don’t have anything. We want to beg the Health Minister to pay a little bit more attention to the Pantang Hospital and the Danfa Medical Centre.”
