A major boost to emergency healthcare delivery in the Volta Region is set to unfold as the MTN Ghana Foundation officially hands over a newly built and fully equipped Accident and Emergency (A&E) Centre to Ho Teaching Hospital.

The landmark project, initiated in June 2024, represents a significant investment in critical care infrastructure and is expected to transform emergency medical response within the region and surrounding areas.

*A New Era for Emergency Care*

The state-of-the-art A&E Centre has been purposefully designed to expand the hospital’s emergency capacity and improve patient flow. The upgraded facility boasts:

Modern and advanced medical equipment
Expanded and well-structured patient wards
Dedicated treatment and observation areas
Improved triage systems
Enhanced accessibility and movement pathways for patients and staff
Health experts anticipate that the expanded centre will dramatically reduce waiting times, streamline emergency procedures, and improve overall clinical outcomes.

*High-Profile Ceremony Expected*

The commissioning ceremony is expected to attract traditional rulers, community leaders, government officials, healthcare professionals, and representatives of the MTN Ghana Foundation, highlighting the project’s importance not just to Ho but to Ghana’s broader healthcare landscape.
Strengthening Ghana’s Health System

The project aligns with the Foundation’s commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure nationwide. By channeling resources into emergency care facilities, the Foundation continues to support frontline institutions and complement government efforts to improve access to quality healthcare.

Officials of the MTN Ghana Foundation ahead of the event reaffirmed their resolve to roll out sustainable, high-impact interventions that respond directly to community needs.

They emphasized that healthcare remains a cornerstone of national development and that strong public-private partnerships are essential to long-term progress.

Nearly Two Decades of Impact
Established in November 2007 as the corporate social investment arm of MTN Ghana, the Foundation focuses on three key pillars:
