Govt installs equipment for stable oxygen supply at 37 Military Hospital

The government has installed new equipment at the 37 Military Hospital, ensuring stable and sufficient oxygen production and supply after the hospital’s oxygen plant was out of service.

The plant’s failure had threatened the supply of essential medical oxygen to surgical theatres, Intensive Care Units, various wards, and the National Ambulance Service.

During a recent working visit, the Defence Minister was informed of the situation.

In response, President John Mahama directed the Ministry of Defence to collaborate with the National Security Coordinator to resolve the issue.

Minister for Defence Dr. Edward Omane Boamah announced that, with urgent intervention, the oxygen plant is now fully operational, improving healthcare services at the facility.

“I’m pleased to announce that the issue has been resolved thanks to our proactive measures. There will be no bad news,” Dr Boamah stated in a Facebook post.

He indicated that this development reflects President Mahama’s ongoing commitment to improving healthcare services nationwide as part of his mission to reset Ghana.

Dr Boamah said “We remain committed to addressing challenges head-on, including those stemming from the mismanaged economy.”
