Today, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital came alive as we hosted a memorable and impactful Open Day Celebration, a day designed to strengthen community engagement, foster collaboration, and showcase the remarkable work being done within our facility.
In his opening remarks, the Medical Director, Dr. Leslie Issa Adam-Zakariah, expressed profound pride in leading an institution that continues to champion quality healthcare, innovation, partnership, and compassion. He also raised an important concern—the hospital’s consistently high bed occupancy rate of over 95% in the face of staffing shortages. Dr. Adam-Zakariah made a compelling appeal to government, corporate bodies, philanthropists, and all well-meaning citizens to support the hospital in areas such as staff housing, the completion of the Phase II project, and retooling of the facility.
He concluded by thanking all invited guests and participants for making today’s event a success.
Representing the Special Guest of Honour, Hon. Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo , Greater Accra Regional Minister,
Mr. Bless Kwame Dzake, Director for Budget, expressed his delight at joining the celebration. He commended the hospital’s management and staff for creating this important platform to showcase the progress being made in improving healthcare delivery across the region.
He noted that this year’s theme, “Promoting Healthy Living Through Partnership and Quality Care,” emphasizes the critical role of collaboration in building a resilient and people-centred health system. He further applauded the hospital for its leadership in tertiary healthcare, emergency response, and specialized services.
Chairing today’s event, Adabraka Mantse, Nii Tetteh Adjabeng II, lauded the hospital for taking steps to educate the public on the wide range of services it offers.
He encouraged management and staff to continue working as a unified team and to sustain the excellent work being done.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our distinguished guests—traditional leaders, clergy, students, market women, staff, and community members—who graced today’s event with their presence and support.
Special appreciation goes to Dr. Lawrence Ofori-Boadu, Director for Institutional Care, for joining us, as well as to the Adabraka Chief Commander and his team for their strong support.
