The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, accompanied by members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) has cut sod for the construction of a new ward complex at the Police Hospital in Accra. The project is aimed at providing a dedicated, comfortable space for police personnel, their families, and retired officers requiring medical care.
The IGP explained that the idea for the facility emerged after a visit to a colleague on admission at the hospital revealed the need for additional, well-equipped accommodation.
The ward complex will cater not only for officers in active service but also for retired personnel, recognising that many retirees face greater health challenges and require more support. The project is designed to also serve the wider police family as well as the general public offering a space that promotes comfort and healing.
He further noted that the Police Administration is initiating the project with available resources while appealing to individuals, corporate institutions, and the general public to support the initiative.
The IGP expressed optimism that the completion of the ward complex will enhance the health and longevity of police personnel and their families. He called on all well-meaning Ghanaians and organisations to partner with the Police Service in delivering this important facility.
