Sewua Hospital: Road Project Awarded to Kofi Job

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has reported that work towards the operationalisation of the Sewua Hospital is progressing steadily.

According to him, a contract has been awarded to Kofi Job Construction to construct the road network leading to the facility.

The immotorable nature of the road is cited as one of the major hindrances to the operationalisation of the facility, which stands at 90% completion.

Appearing before Nananom on June 11, 2026, at the invitation of Nana Boakye Yam Ababio, Nkwantakesehene, who is currently in charge of Kumasi in the absence of the Asantehene, he made the disclosure.

“The contractor has assured us that he will move to the site next week,” he said.

Meanwhile, he reported that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has begun the establishment of a substation to power the facility, while a letter has been written to Ghana Water Limited (GWL) for water supply to the hospital.

Tackling the Afari Military hospital, which also stands as a stalled health facility project, the Minister said the project had stalled due to procurement processes and could only resume after all paperwork is in place.

In conclusion, the Minister assured Nananom of the government’s commitment to health in the Ashanti Region, noting that work on Sewua, Trede, Oforikrom, and KNUST hospitals is actively in progress.

He, however, admitted that work resumption at the Afari hospital is uncertain.

According to him, it can progress only when paperwork is completed in time for the mid-year budget.
