He said with the increment of Out Patient Department (OPD) at the facility, there had been congestions and pleaded with the Birim North Association of chiefs to support the expansion of the hospital.
He said they would also need a hostel for visitors and relatives of admitted patients.
Dr. Sakyi- Larbi mentioned the lack of bungalows for health workers and the lack of intensive care units that hindered quality healthcare delivery to the people.
He said plans were in the pipeline to mount a health post or a wellness clinic at vantage points to ensure easy accessibility of healthcare services.
For the health workers to render quality healthcare services to patients who patronized the facility, he said the facility offered customer care training for the nurses following feedback from patients.
