The Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Hospital in the Sunyani Metropolis recorded no case of maternal death in the past four years, Mr. Enoch Nketia, the hospital’s Administrator said on Tuesday.
Additionally, the facility recorded more than 700,000 Out-Patient Department (OPD) cases between 2014 and 2024, he stated at a thanksgiving service organized by the hospital management in Sunyani. The service offered an opportunity for the hospital authorities, health workers, and entire staff to praise God, as the hospital prepared to mark its 20th anniversary celebration in March 2025.
Established in 2005 with only four hospital beds, Mr. Nketiah said the facility had 96 hospital beds with 15 private and three consulting rooms, saying management was also working hard to upgrade the facility from primary health to secondary health care facility. Mr. said management was undertaking expansion work, putting up ultra-modern five storey building to accommodate the orthopedic and theatre wards as well as conference hall and auxiliary facilities.
He commended the health workers and the entire staff for their hard work and dedicated services and inspired them to redouble their efforts for the authorities to achieve their vision of improving quality health outcomes in the metropolis. Pastor Maxwell Obour Boateng Awuah, the President of the Midwest Ghana Conference of the SDA church and the Board Chair of the Hospital also commended the management and the health workers for their hard work.
He said the task head remained huge and advised the health workers to serve clients in humility, diligence, and confidence, and asked them not to only care about the physical health of the clients but endeavor to touch their heart too. “As Christian health workers, we must endeavor to allow our character to reflect the character of God in providing quality healthcare delivery,” he stated. The hospital later recognized and presented citations to some of the deserving staff of the hospital.
