The Swedish Ghana Medical Centre in Accra now has a state-of-the-art PET Scan facility, which President John Dramani Mahama described as a significant step in Ghana’s quest for medical sovereignty and top-notch healthcare.
According to President Mahama, the advanced diagnostic centre will help strengthen early detection of cancer, improve patient outcomes, and lessen the need for Ghanaians to travel outside the country for specialised treatment.
The facility, he continued, establishes Ghana as the future medical centre of the West African subregion.
The $300 million STARR-J plan, which aims to terminate the double-track system by 2027, includes new regional hospitals, extra CAT labs, teacher housing projects, and other significant investments in healthcare, education, and housing were also announced by the President.
He emphasised that high-quality healthcare, teacher welfare, and education continue to be at the forefront of Ghana’s national development strategy while praising GNAT and the Swedish Ghana Medical Centre’s administration for their innovative investment.
