Dr Maxwell Boakye builds 50-bed Children’s Ward for Samartex Hospital
Council of State Member for the Western Region, Dr Maxwell Boakye, has cut the sod for the construction of a 50-bed Children’s Ward at Samartex Hospital in Samreboi in honour of his late mother.
Dr Boakye, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Win Energy, explained that the project fulfilled a long-held wish of his late mother and was aimed at improving paediatric healthcare delivery across the Western Region.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, he said the new facility would provide dedicated space and specialised care for children, easing pressure on the hospital’s existing infrastructure and addressing critical gaps in child healthcare services.
“This project is very personal to me,” Dr Boakye said.
“It represents a promise fulfilled in honour of my late mother’s passion for compassion and service to humanity.”
Context
The project comes a year after the passing of his mother, Maame Agnes Appiah, who he described as “a woman devoted to community welfare and the well-being of children”.
Dr Boakye stated that the children’s ward would serve as a lasting tribute to her legacy of care, compassion and selfless service.
Community members and health officials at the ceremony welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism that the facility would enhance healthcare outcomes for children and families in Samreboi and neighbouring communities.
When completed, the 50-bed ward is expected to expand Samartex Hospital’s capacity and significantly improve paediatric services in the Western Region.
