President John Dramani Mahama has inspected ongoing construction works on a new cardiology centre at the Tamale Teaching Hospital as part of his ongoing #ResettingGhana tour of the Northern Region.
The facility, being developed under the MahamaCares initiative, also known as the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, is expected to significantly enhance the country’s capacity to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases.
According to the Presidency, the project is aimed at strengthening specialised healthcare delivery, particularly in the management of heart-related conditions, while easing the burden on patients who currently travel long distances to access advanced cardiac care.
During the inspection, President Mahama reaffirmed his government’s commitment to investing in modern health infrastructure across the country.
He emphasised that improving access to quality healthcare remains a key priority, noting that such projects are critical to enhancing patient outcomes nationwide.
The cardiology centre, once completed, is expected to serve residents in the Northern Region and beyond, reducing pressure on major referral facilities in southern Ghana and improving equitable access to specialised medical services.
The visit forms part of the President’s broader regional tour, which seeks to assess ongoing development projects and engage with communities on key national initiatives.
