Euroget De-Invest S.A., the contractors behind the 250-bed Ashanti Regional Hospital in Sewua, has expressed strong disapproval over the hospital’s commissioning by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 4, 2025.
According to Dr. Said Deraz, the Group CEO and Chairman of Euroget De-Invest, the event violated legal and contractual agreements, as the hospital remains incomplete and has not been officially handed over to the government.
“Euroget did not give anyone permission to enter the site. Possession is still ours until we hand it over in the correct and legal manner.” has stated
Euroget De-Invest accused President Akufo-Addo of illegal activity and called on the relevant authorities to investigate this matter thoroughly.
“Why would an outgoing President engage in such illegality just three days before handing over office?”
Together with the 50-bed Infectious Disease Centre – one of 12 facilities built with COVID-19 funding across the country to manage infectious diseases, the facility, which now stands as the biggest regional hospital across the country, serves as a vital lifeline for the region, bridging gaps in healthcare delivery and ensuring that people of the region have unimpeded access to universal health coverage and improved health outcomes.
This modern health facility is fully equipped with an administration block, outpatient department, physiotherapy, gynecology wards, sterilization, intensive care unit, maternity and delivery suites, laboratory, pharmacy, theatre complex, laundry, and a medical gas plant to produce medical gases.
The project is part of the nine Euroget hospital projects initiated by former President John Agyekum Kufuor in 2008.
The nine Euroget Hospitals are the 500-bed Military Hospital at Afari, in Kumasi, the 160-bed Wa Regional Hospital, the 250-bed Ashanti Regional Hospital at Sewua, and the 100-bed Ga East Municipal Hospital at Kwabenya.
In addition to these five 60-bed Hospitals, five more are part of the project at Tepa, Konongo, Twifo Praso, and Madina.
