Suhum Today: MP Makes Case for Government Hospital

The Member of Parliament for Suhum, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, known in political circles as Protozoa, has passionately appealed to the Ministry of Health to prioritize the expansion and refurbishment of the Government Hospital to address the growing healthcare crisis facing residents and travelers in the municipality.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, MP painted a vivid picture of the hospital’s dire condition, emphasizing its strategic importance on the busy Accra–Kumasi highway, a route that records frequent accidents and emergency cases.

“Between January and September 2025, Suhum has recorded over 263 accident cases. Many victims are rushed to the Suhum Government Hospital, but due to congestion and limited space, patients—especially women and children—often receive treatment on the floor. This situation requires urgent attention,” Mr. Asiedu Bekoe stated.

The MP’s concerns drew a direct response from the Minister for Health, Mintah Kwabena Ankandoh, who admitted that the Ministry is aware of the hospital’s challenges but noted that the expansion project was not captured in the 2025 fiscal budget.

“The Ministry fully acknowledges the essential need for a well-functioning and adequately equipped emergency ward at the Suhum Government Hospital. Although it was not included in the 2025 budget, we intend to conduct a detailed assessment of the facility to determine the scope of work required,” the Minister told Parliament.

He assured the House that the Ministry would prioritize Suhum in its upcoming capital expenditure programme, likely to be captured under the 2026 budget, as part of efforts to strengthen emergency healthcare delivery in the Eastern Region.

The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, who chaired the sitting, encouraged the MP to work closely with the Minister to ensure the matter receives the needed attention.

The Suhum Government Hospital has been struggling for years with overcrowding, inadequate facilities, and a shortage of beds, forcing healthcare workers to improvise.

The children’s ward is among the most affected units, often compelled to place children and their mothers on mattresses on the floor due to a lack of space.
