SDA church to establish hospital in Tamale

Tamale, (Northern Region) 4th May ?99,

The Northern-Ghana mission of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is to establish a hospital in Tamale this year.

The church has already purchased a building for the project and has concluded an agreement with the Adventist Hospital in Florida, USA for medical personnel, hospital equipment, drugs and other logistics.

Pastor A.K. Waahu, president of the mission made this known in Tamale at a special church service on Sunday to close a four-day biennial convention of the Ghana Adventist Choir Union.

Pastor Waahu said a Senior Secondary School project the church intended undertaking in Tamale is being held up due to a dispute over a 32-acre land the church acquired more than 20 years ago.

Donors in America have threatened to withdraw interest in the project and expressed the hope that the dispute will be resolved soon for the project to take off.

The four-day convention, under the theme: ''experiencing the fellowship of his family'', was attended by 44 choirs from the Mampong Zone and the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions who engaged in musical concert and spiritual revival.
