Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, says the Sunyani Regional Hospital will soon be upgraded to a teaching hospital.

This, according to him, is in efforts to provide quality health service to the people of the area.

The Minister emphasized that improving the hospital will benefit the populace because they currently have to travel great distances in ambulances to receive referrals from Dormaa-Ahenkro to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Mr Agyemang Manu also hinted that other health establishments including the Dormaa-Akwamu Hospital and the Wamfie District Hospital would also be given face lifts to become 60-bed capacity health facilities.

The thanksgiving service was graced by some traditional rulers including Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, the Paramount Chief of Dormaa Traditional Area and President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs as well as the wife and family members of Mr Ntim.

Also in attendance were other high-ranking members of government and the NPP such as Madam Justina Owusu-Banahene, the Bono Regional Minister, Mr Emmanuel Kofi Agyemang, the District Chief Executive for Dormaa East, Mr Paul Apraku Twum, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dormaa East, regional and constituency executives of the Party, former MPs, religious leaders, and some members of the public.

The occasion was characterised by singing worship and praise songs. All attendees were also clad in white. They thanked God for Mr Ntim’s victory and expressed commitment and willingness to support the NPP to win the three constituencies in the Dormaa enclave.

On how to build a stronger party, Mr. Agyemang-Manu suggested to party members to eschew divisive tendencies, bitterness and rancour and give unflinching support to the national chairperson in the interest of the NPP.

“We must stop trading insults at each other and be united for the Party’s progress. It will be an embarrassment if we fail to secure 12 seats in Bono,” he added.
