Ghana Medical Trust Fund Boosts Dialysis Services at Hohoe Hospital
Ghana Medical Trust Fund donates dialysis machines to expand renal care capacity in Volta Region
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund has strengthened renal care services at the Volta Regional Hospital Hohoe with the delivery of two new dialysis machines and additional critical medical equipment.
The intervention is expected to significantly improve access to treatment for patients suffering from kidney disease in the region.
The donation, led by the Fund’s Administrator, Adjoa Obuobia Opoku-Darko, was made possible through support from HealthTeach Ghana and Project CURE. Hospital authorities described the gesture as timely, noting that it will enhance the facility’s capacity to provide life-saving dialysis services.
With the addition of the new machines, the hospital’s dialysis capacity has doubled, enabling more patients from the Volta Region and surrounding areas to access treatment.
Prior to the intervention, the hospital operated with two machines and had conducted 1,385 dialysis sessions since August 2024 for 23 patients.
Receiving the equipment, Medical Director Arko Akoto Ampaw expressed appreciation for the support and assured that the machines would be properly maintained to benefit patients over the long term.
He noted that the intervention would reduce pressure on both patients and healthcare workers while improving the overall quality of care.
