Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh
The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has expressed disappointment over the poor state of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, popularly known as Ridge Hospital.
During an unannounced inspection of the hospital on April 11, 2025, he criticised the management for allowing the facility to deteriorate.
“This is not the Ridge Hospital we handed over to the former administration. I must be honest, this is not the Ridge Hospital we have all been boasting about. Ridge must return to its former glory, and we will ensure that happens. The MRI is not working. The CT scan is not working. I asked them to take me to the washroom, we walked more than 2 km looking for one. So yes, that is true.
“During the transition period, we read certain documents indicating that there was a program in place to fix all this equipment. But later, upon reviewing the reports and verifying for ourselves, we realised the reality was quite the opposite,” he lamented.
