Neglected Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital raises concerns over healthcare services and municipal accountability

The Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital, a vital healthcare institution serving the local populace, has unfortunately become a poignant symbol of neglect and apathy from municipal authorities.

A concerned group of citizens, following a visit to the hospital last year, launched an extensive advocacy effort, corresponding with key officials such as the District Chief Executive (DCE), the Regional Health Directorate, and

Regrettably, their impassioned appeals for urgent attention and enhancements have been met with silence and inaction.

Despite being the primary healthcare provider for many residents, the hospital's distressing state persists, underscoring a lack of responsiveness and accountability from those in positions of authority.

The alarming conditions within the hospital prompt serious inquiries into the adequacy of healthcare services and the dedication of authorities to the welfare of the community.

We visited the Cape Coast Metro Hospital last year. We wrote several letters to the DCE, the Regional Health Directorate, the MP and till date, no reply to any of our letters and absolutely nothing has been done about this hospital. Humans receive healthcare in this facility. https://t.co/y2VvKyIeHW pic.twitter.com/UKaw1GLFSv
