Atibie Government Hospital: Pale shadow of itself
Mary Gyekyewaa Gyekye Features 1 minute read
There is an African proverb that says, “Until the rotten tooth is pulled out; the mouth must chew with caution.” Similarly, the Kwahu Atibie Government Hospital (KGH), located at Atibie along the main Nkawkaw Atibie Street in the Kwahu South District of the Eastern Region, is going through the same predicament as the mouth that chews has a rotten tooth.
The government-run hospital, which was constructed in 1954, serves an estimated population of about 230,000 people from all walks of life and over 200 communities within the Kwahu Municipal and outside the district.
Services
The 65-year-old facility offers services in internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, reproductive health and maternal and child health, dental and ophthalmic care, Ear and Throat (ENT) care and diabetes care.
