Parliament’s Health Committee to Embark on Nationwide Tour of Regional and Teaching Hospitals
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Health is set to undertake a comprehensive four-day nationwide tour of selected Regional and Teaching Hospitals from Tuesday, April 22 to Friday, April 25, 2025.
The initiative aims to assess the current state of healthcare infrastructure, identify key challenges, and develop actionable strategies to improve healthcare delivery across the country.
According to a press release signed by the Director of Media Relations of Parliament, David Sebastian Damoah (Esq), the Committee will conduct the assessment in three teams, covering different parts of the country:
Team One will visit the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, Nalerigu Regional Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Tamale Regional Hospital, and Wa Regional Hospital.
Team Two will tour the Damongo Regional Hospital, Techiman Regional Hospital, Sunyani Regional Hospital, and Goaso Regional Hospital.
Team Three will assess facilities at the Kumasi Regional Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Koforidua Regional Hospital, Ho Regional Hospital, Ho Teaching Hospital, and the Greater Accra Regional Hospital.
The tour, the statement noted, forms part of the Committee’s broader mandate to promote quality and equitable healthcare for all Ghanaians. It will also allow Members of Parliament to directly engage with healthcare professionals, observe service delivery in real-time, and understand the operational constraints faced by these institutions.
“The objective is to ensure that the healthcare system is not only functional but responsive to the needs of citizens,” Damoah stated. “The Committee urges all stakeholders to actively engage with its teams and share insights that can contribute to sustainable improvements in Ghana’s health sector.”
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Health plays a critical oversight role in monitoring and evaluating health policies, programmes, and institutions, and is committed to ensuring that healthcare services remain accessible, efficient, and effective throughout the country.
