The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has inspected ongoing works on a water treatment project valued at more than GH¢590,000 at the Ho Teaching Hospital, aimed at ensuring a reliable water supply for the facility.

Sponsored by businessman Ibrahim Mahama, the project includes a 40,000-litre storage facility and a water treatment plant capable of processing 4,000 litres per hour.

During the inspection, Gunu stressed the importance of the intervention, noting that a hospital of the Teaching Hospital's stature requires a dependable water supply to support its operations.

“A hospital of this nature needs reliable water,” he said.

The hospital's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Hintermann K.K. Mbroh, said the project would provide significant relief to both patients and staff.

He noted that an unreliable water supply could compromise the quality of healthcare delivery.

Dr Mbroh commended the Regional Minister for facilitating the project, which followed an engagement between Gunu and members of the hospital's Governing Board a few months ago.

The Managing Partner of Sed Investments International, the company executing the project, Divine Kwasitse, said the treatment plant was expected to be handed over to the hospital by the end of November.
