The government should do better.WHERE IS THE OIL,GOLD,DIAMOND,COCOA,BAUXITE,MANGANESE etc MONEY?All POLITICIANS have BIG STOMACH.It's unfortunate that the helpless patients are suffering because we have a government that does not share our resources proportionately but rather squanders it.Recently,MAHAMA promised to increase the pay of CHIEFS.I DON'T KNOW WHY.If there is a problem like this (PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL)hanging on his shoulders,why telling GHANA about errection of NKRUMAH'S HUGE STATUE?Even his own son SEKOU said the timing is wrong,but these MAHAMA AND HIS NDC didn't see that.
THIS IS SAD NEWS.I don't know how a private firm can help if it cannot make any profit there.Because,it is free of charge.So where would those that can't pay be,if a private company takes charge to charge the patients?Won't that also create another bad situation for Ghana?We have to think about this very well before anything done.

The GH51 Million paid to Woyome could have been better used here.The NDC should bury their heads in shame.People are dying of hunger and starvation and yet Woyome gets this amount free.Stupid.

IT IS SAD THE HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES ARE EXPECTING THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO ENGAGE IN THE RUNNING OF THE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. IN WHAT WAY EFFECTIVELY?THE PRIVATE SECTOR WILL VENTURE INTO BUSINESSES THAT WILL BRING IN PROFITS AND NOT THROW THEIR MONEY TO IRRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO WILL SQUADER THEIR MONEY.

The best strategy is to form a "Ghana Psychiatry Hospitals Foundation" (different and independent body from the hospital's board). This foundation which is an administrative team, could be headed by some prominent Ghanaian man (e.g., philanthropist, well-like Statesman in the likes of Kofi Anan, a minister, even a past Head of State). The foundation is tasked to solicit funds from the private sector, such as businesses, past patients and/or their families and even external international agencies such as NGOs. In fact, many hospitals in Canada and the USA do have such Foundations operating for them. The foundation for my hospital for example was able to raise about one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) for the hospital last FY 2011-2012 (fiscal year).
Please try this strategy, IT WORKS! Believe me! It really does.

I support you 100%.This could be a great relieve for our dear helpless patients in those hospitals.I like your suggestion very well because you've sited those who could be very good as leaders in executing this very important issue:STATESMEN like MR KOFI ANNAN,PRESIDENT KUFOUR.I would add MR.AMIDU(FORMER AG) & SOME TRUSTWORTHY PASTORS as well.
May God bless you for this important suggestion.I think,MAHAMA should think over this,this time.

and you think if they raise $100m it will solve their problems. they will waste it trust me. anas aremeyaw did an investigation into the operations of that hospital and the rot that was uncovered there was staggering. pilfering of the same food they claim they bought on credit was alarming.

massa to tell you the truth, our country is a failed state. each one for himself, God for we all. that is the kind of system we are used to and it will take divine miracle to change.

not a single state institution is running effectively can you believe that? please if you have any foundation kindly run it privately and organize easter soup kitchens for our unfortunate brothers and sisters who find themselves in that state of mental health and have been seriously let down by the state.

It is not wholly true that Psychiatric healthcare is free since one has to pay for even mere consultation.

If the private sector could support beauty contests, sports, among others; there's nothing wrong with reaching out to the health sector.

Please, if you steal from your place of work, don't generalise. There are loads and loads of descent Ghanaians both home and abroad who understand that any form of theft is immoral and won't it for any reason.

PLS, BEFORE U OPEN UP UR PALMS FOR ALMS. IW ANT YOU TO LOOK WITHIN YOUR CAPABILITES, OK. U ARE SITUATED IN ACCRA. MEANING, UR PRIMARY CLIENTELE IS WITH THE PPL IN THE REGION. I WANT YOU TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA, UK, US AND CANADA AND FIND OUT WAT THE VARIOUS PSYCHIATRIST HOSPITALS IN THESE PLACES ARE DOING TO INCREASE REVENUE. THIS PICTURE ALONE IS AN EYESORE, VERY PATHETIC. NO ONE WILL LOOK AT THIS PIC AND WANT TO GIVE YOU THEIR MONEY. THE BUILDING NEEDS A FACELIFT, A NEW, AND IMPROVED SIGN BOARD. DO U EVEN HAVE A WEBSITE? FO PPL LIKE MYSELF TO MAKE CREDIT CARD DONATIONS ONLINE? U DONT HAVE TEETH BUT U WANT TO CHEW KOLA NUT...IDIOTS!

The Minister of health should rather fight more money into the Ghana health care system in order to use his short term and long term objectives to address issues.

The "Psychiatric hospital" is an eye sore and disgrace to any sitting government.Today on behalf of fellow Ghanaians I challenge President Mahama to pay a surprise visit to the place.He would not fail to be moved by the truly appalling conditions prevailing there. Mr President please do not send your minister there but go there to see things for yourself.I guarantee you that you will not be able to sleep wink that night if you are the person I think you are.
