President Nana Akufo-Addo inaugurated a €38 million Urology and Nephrology Centre of Excellence at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital on October 18, 2024, a significant boost for Ghana's healthcare system.
The state-of-the-art facility will provide advanced treatments for urological and kidney conditions, reducing the need for patients to travel abroad.
It includes a 30-suite dialysis station, a 70-bed unit, and advanced diagnostic services.
The Centre is poised to position Ghana as a medical tourism hub, and its launch reflects the government’s broader goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage and expanding healthcare infrastructure under its "Agenda 111" initiative.
