The new 70-bed capacity ward under construction at the Police Hospital is set to ease pressure on emergency wards at the facility. The project, currently 70% complete, is expected to be handed over by the third quarter of this year.

The Medical Director in charge of the hospital, Commissioner of Police (COP), Dr Otu Nyarko who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with The Chronicle said the four-storey building will decongest the hospital’s wards and provide much-needed space.

“The facility will apart from housing children’s ward, surgical ward, medical ward and executive ward on separate floors, also host a mini pharmacy, mini laboratory, eight (8) doctors and nurses resting rooms”, he said.

According to the Medical Director, the hospital, which was started in 1976 would be celebrating her golden jubilee this year and it is god news that the ward expansion, a major project, is also taking place at the same time.

Dr Otu Nyarko emphasised the construction of a standard paediatric intensive care unit as a jubilee project. He has, therefore, appealed to philanthropists and individuals to donate towards it.

The ward expansion work, which began with ground-breaking by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno on August 11, 2025 mainly relies on donations from individuals and organizations to fund it.

The facility provides free medical care for the vulnerable including destitute, suspects whose cases are under investigation and convicted prisoners.

The Police have two other hospitals in Kumasi and Tamale, as well as twenty (20) clinics across the country.
