The Minister of Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has revealed that the oxygen plant at the 37 Military Hospital is back in operation.

He highlighted that this restoration reflects President John Dramani Mahama’s strong dedication to strengthening human security as part of his broader vision for national renewal.

Describing it as a significant boost for healthcare at the facility, Dr. Boamah recalled a recent visit where he discovered the plant had broken down, putting surgical theatres, ICUs, hospital wards, and ambulance services at risk due to the lack of medical oxygen.

With his medical background, he moved swiftly after the president instructed the Defence Ministry to collaborate with National Security to address the issue.

As a result, a brand-new oxygen plant was acquired and installed, guaranteeing a steady and reliable oxygen supply for the hospital and emergency response teams.

"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."
