Korle Bu Teaching Hospital maternal healthcare expansion

Overview

Construction has commenced at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for a new 400-bed Mother and Child Block. This facility is intended to replace the hospital’s existing maternity unit as part of a broader government investment in health infrastructure.
