Members of the Select Committee on health are impressed with the management of the Eastern Regional Hospital for being able to raise funds to manage the facility without putting the burden on government.

On a nationwide tour to regional hospitals, the Committee was told at the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua, that they were able to invest their internally generated funds to set up a dialysis center to render services to patients for free.

Dr Thomas Anaba, MP for Garu, the leader of Group 3 and Hon. Akwasi Acquah, MP for Akyem Oda, commended the management of the hospital and assured them of recommending to parliament for the necessary support.

A member of the Committee Alexander Akwasi Aquah on his part noted that the hospitals in the Eastern Region are doing their best to look after the sick patients and the little they are able to generate internally the use it well.

Again they have invested in research and the things they need like ambulance, as such they have taken good note of that and would ensure it is addressed.
