Koforidua, Jan 11, - The Eastern
Regional Hospital, Koforidua, has built a GH₵900,000.00 oxygen plant to assure the facility of adequate
supply of the vital chemical element to save lives.
The project was financed from its
internally generated funds (IGF).
Dr. Kwame Anim Boamah, the
Medical Director, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the plant had been
producing 3,500 cubic centimetres of the colourless, odourless gas every day.
This is twice the size of the
hospital’s daily requirement.
He added that, it had
significantly helped to save cost, considering the fact that they spent a total
of GH₵500,000.00 on oxygen
purchase in one year - 2016.
Dr. Boamah spoke of plans to sell
the excess gas to raise money to support the hospital’s operation.
