Muntaka and some members of the police service commissioning the 50-bed police hospital
The Minister of the Interior, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, has commissioned a newly constructed 50-bed Police Hospital in Kumasi, aimed at improving healthcare delivery for police officers, their families, and the general public.
The facility, fully funded by the Police Welfare Scheme, is expected to significantly enhance access to quality healthcare services within the Ashanti Region and beyond.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Muntaka commended the Ghana Police Service and the custodians of the welfare scheme for their leadership and vision.
“This is a symbol of what can be achieved when unity meets purpose,” he stated.
He lauded the initiative as a milestone in the provision of sustainable healthcare for security personnel.
According to a 3news.com report on June 6, 2025, Muntaka reaffirmed government’s commitment to ensure the facility is adequately staffed, equipped, and maintained to meet high standards.
He also announced that the construction of the Tamale Police Hospital is 80% complete, with preparations underway to recruit medical staff for both hospitals ahead of the commencement of operations.
Muntaka urged the Ghana Police Service to adopt a strong maintenance culture to preserve the facility for long-term benefit.
The Director-General Welfare of the Ghana Police Service, COP Iddi Lansa Seidu, described the hospital as a testament to the service’s commitment to the welfare of its personnel.
He said it reflects the values of solidarity and responsibility that define the Ghana Police Service, while underscoring its importance in supporting officers, their families, and retirees.
The new hospital is part of broader efforts by the Ghana Police Service to improve the well-being of its members and enhance public access to healthcare, the report said.
