Broken Oxygen Plant for 37 Military Hospital Fixed

The government has installed new equipment at the 37 Military Hospital, ensuring stable and sufficient oxygen production and supply after the hospital’s oxygen plant was out of service.

The plant’s failure had threatened the supply of essential medical oxygen to surgical theatres, Intensive Care Units, various wards, and the National Ambulance Service.

During a recent working visit, the Defence Minister was informed of the situation.

In response, President John Mahama directed the Ministry of Defence to collaborate with the National Security Coordinator to resolve the issue.

Minister for Defence Dr. Edward Omane Boamah announced that, with urgent intervention, the oxygen plant is now fully operational, improving healthcare services at the facility.

“I’m pleased to announce that the issue has been resolved thanks to our proactive measures. There will be no bad news,” Dr Boamah stated in a Facebook post.

He indicated that this development reflects President Mahama’s ongoing commitment to improving healthcare services nationwide as part of his mission to reset Ghana.

Dr Boamah said “We remain committed to addressing challenges head-on, including those stemming from the mismanaged economy.”

President John Dramani Mahama is serious about his commitment to reset Ghana, and human security will remain essential to the operations of his National Security outfit.

During my working visit to the 37 Military Hospital, I was informed that the Oxygen Plant was in a precarious state and that oxygen production and supply to surgical theatres, Intensive Care Units, and wards could be severely affected if not addressed within days.

The 37 Military Hospital also supplies oxygen to the National Ambulance Service.

I’m excited to announce that, on the president’s instructions, the Ministry of Defence, in collaboration with the National Security Coordinator, has resolved the issue. New equipment has been bought and installed, and oxygen production and supply have been assured for the 37 Military Hospital and the National Ambulance Service.

Thanks to our proactiveness, there will be no bad news. We’re committed to solving problems, including fixing the mismanaged economy.
