‘Re-construction of La General Hospital yet to start’
June 2, 2021
DESPITE sod cutting for the re-construction of the La General Hospital in the run-up to the 2020 General Election, work is yet to commence on the project.
This is because “extra work is needed” to be done before physical construction takes off, the Health Minister, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, told Parliament, in Accra, yesterday.
“Due to the condition of the land, it was critical to do an intrusive geological exploration to help determine the depth of the foundation and the sizes of the structural members for the facility,” the minister said.
In his view, this was critical to avoid any structural defects in the future as was the case in the original structure of the facility, which has been demolished.
The Ga West Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, in partnership with the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), has organised a blood donation exercise in Accra to support the blood bank of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital).

The National Labour Commission (NLC) will meet the leadership of the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists (GAMLS) on Wednesday, June 2, this year to find an amicable solution to its concerns that have led to a nationwide strike.
The commission has also directed the association to call off its strike immediately.
The directive, signed by the Executive Secretary of the NLC, Mr Ofosu Asamoah, said the invitation was in accordance with Section 139 of the Labour Act 2003, Act 651.
It said with that intervention, and in pursuance of Section 161 of Act 651, the GAMLS “should call off the ongoing strike and/or any further intended action immediately for the parties to appear before the commission as scheduled”.
