Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Sets Wheels in Motion for Ambitious 2026–2030 Strategic Plan

Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has taken a significant step toward shaping its future with the launch of its 2026–2030 strategic planning process. The inception meeting, held on 1st December 2025, brought together members of the Strategic Plan Development Committee and other key stakeholders, marking the start of what is expected to be one of the hospital’s most comprehensive planning exercises in recent years.

Presiding over the meeting, the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Yakubu Seidu Adam, stressed the urgent need for a clear and purposeful roadmap as the current strategic plan comes to an end this year. He reiterated that without a strong framework, the hospital risks operating without measurable progress, and he outlined the institution’s intention to sharpen its focus on essential areas such as staff development and clinical care.

Dr. Adam emphasised the need for clear clinical standards and called for broad involvement from Heads of Administration, Directors, and external consultants to ensure the plan reflects the full spectrum of the hospital’s operations and ambitions.

Adding depth to the discussion, Mr. Pius Agbeviadey, Acting Deputy Director of PPME, outlined the roadmap for developing the new plan. He revealed that a review of the hospital’s vision and mission is already under way. Korle Bu, he said, is positioning itself to become a leading hub for advanced, specialised, and complex medical care, offering cutting-edge and even experimental procedures often unavailable at typical tertiary hospitals. Evaluating the hospital’s progress since 2020 will form a crucial part of the preparation phase.

The meeting also introduced the structure guiding the planning process. A dedicated Working Group of technical experts will lead the drafting of the plan, with the flexibility to form subcommittees and draw on external expertise as needed. This committee includes Dr. Frank Owusu Sekyere, serving as Chairman, alongside key members such as Mr. Munir Alhassan, Mr. Yehuza Jawula, Dr. Harry Akoto, Mr. Pius Agbeviadey, Dr. Philip Amo, Dr. Bernice Addom, Dr. Elorm Otchi, Dr. Lloyd Baffoe, Dr. Francisca Zigah, Mr. Benjamin Amu Doodu, Mr. Mustapha Salifu, Mr. Felix Debrah, and Mr. Khalil Bawah, with Miss Ivy McArthur-Danquah acting as Secretary. Their diverse expertise spans administration, clinical care, public health, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, quality improvement, and communications, ensuring that the strategic plan will reflect the hospital’s full operational spectrum.

With the planning process now officially under way and guided by this dedicated committee, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital enters a pivotal moment in its institutional journey, one that promises to define its direction, ambitions, and priorities over the next five years.
