Resolve Hospital inaugurated at Sakumono

Resolve Hospital, a private female health facility, has been inaugurated in Sakumono to offer advanced services in gynecology, obstetrics, pregnancy and delivery.

The obstetrical services include full range of services from antenatal through post-natal care including diagnostic ultrasound scanning and the management of high-risk pregnancies.

The gynecological services also include contraceptive management, treatment of menstrual and hormonal disorders, management of uterine fibroids and infertility as well as surgical services.

Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, the Minister for Justice and Attorney General, who graced the occasion, said she was happy well meaning individuals would establish such a unique a hospital with the intention of providing adequate care for the health needs of women in the society.

She urged the youth who have passion for entrepreneurship and medicine to emulate the example of Dr Padi Ayertey and Mrs Linda Ayertey, the Founders of the Hospital.

Commenting on how the hospital was built by the couple, Mrs Appiah-Oppong urged the couple to share their life story -from where they had such intention to when the hospital was constructed- to encourage the youth with similar intentions.

Dr Ayertey said the hospital has 19 wards with majority of the rooms being single rooms for single patients to ensure that a patient feels more comfortable and open to the health personnel.

“Our aim is that whether one delivers here or in an advanced country, the person would not see a difference in terms of care. For instance, if you deliver at a health facility in an advanced country, the health personnel will not ask you to bring sponge, towel, antiseptic, babies clothes, diapers etc (as it sometimes occurs here)”, he said.

He said they are collaborating with international bodies to put the needed measures in place to establish similar hospitals in other parts of the country.

Dr Ayertey urged government to provide the private health sectors with reliable sources of funding that would allow them to borrow money and invest in their facilities to meet health needs.

“if we could get certain amount of tax wavers especially with reference to the number of equipment we would have to import and if the level at which we are taxed could be re-considered, it will improve the private health sector”, he said.

Mrs Emefa Darkwa, a Lecturer and a client of the hospital, told the GNA that she feels comfortable with Resolve Hospital because the staff listen to their clients before actions are taken.

She said the cost of service is moderate because the facility provides comfort with quick health care delivery, saying “I will come to Resolve any other day for my health needs”.
