Four patients have become the first beneficiaries of treatment at the newly commissioned Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory (Cath Lab) at the National Cardiothoracic Centre (NCTC) of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The development was disclosed by the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, in a post on social media.
According to him, the Cath Lab, which was installed by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (Mahama Cares), became operational shortly after it was commissioned last week.
"Four patients became the first to receive treatment at the newly commissioned Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory (Cath Lab) at the National Cardiothoracic Centre (NCTC) of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital yesterday," he wrote.
He added that the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (Mahama Cares) installed the life-saving equipment and officially inaugurated the facility last week.
The new Cath Lab is expected to enhance the hospital's capacity to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases, improving access to specialised cardiac care for patients across the country.
