HEAL KATH
The Heal KATH project is a US10 million revenue mobilization drive being championed by the King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in the quest to renovate the dilapidated structure of the second-largest hospital and the only tertiary health institution in the Ashanti Region.
The hospital, since its construction in 1954, has been deprived of any enhanced renovation, leaving it in a sorry state.
After 70 years of its existence with successive governments passing through the years, none made it a point to attend to it.
At the launch of the Heal KATH Project in November 2023, the Chief Executive officer of the hospital, Prof Otchere Addai-Mensah, disclosed the agenda to renovate the hospital had been on its radar for a long time but had to be shelved due to lack of funds.
Already, the renovation work is ongoing; however, there is a need for more funds as less than 40% of the US$10 million has been raised.
