Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH)
The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi plans to convert its unused Hydrotherapy Unit into a limb fitting center.
CEO Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah announced the change, noting the unit's low return on investment and the potential benefits of offering quality amputation and prosthetic services.
The project is expected to cost about $150,000. During a recent inspection, hospital board members reviewed the ongoing renovation of the Physiotherapy Center and the nearing completion of a 190-bed hostel for patients' relatives.
