Minister for Defence Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has announced that the oxygen plant at the 37 Military Hospital is now fully operational, which significantly enhances healthcare operations at the facility. This development underscores President John Dramani Mahama’s unwavering commitment to improving human security as part of his mission to reset Ghana.
During a recent working visit to the hospital, the defence minister learned that the facility’s oxygen plant was out of service. This risked the supply of essential medical oxygen to surgical theatres, Intensive Care Units, the various wards and the National Ambulance Service. A medical doctor himself, the Minister quickly activated action. Responding swiftly to the alarming situation, the President directed the Ministry of Defence to collaborate with the National Security Coordinator to avert the problem.
New equipment has been procured and installed, ensuring that oxygen production and supply are stable and sufficient for both the hospital and ambulance services. “I’m excited to announce that we have resolved the issue thanks to our proactive measures. There will be no bad news,” the defence minister stated in a Facebook post. “We remain committed to addressing challenges head-on, including those stemming from the mismanaged economy.”
The successful restoration of the oxygen plant is part of the Mahama administration’s ongoing efforts to enhance the nation’s healthcare system and ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens.
