The celebration, held on the hospital’s premises in Adukrom, drew a diverse group of stakeholders, including health professionals, local authorities, traditional leaders, and residents from surrounding communities. The occasion provided an opportunity to review the hospital’s achievements over the past year and to discuss challenges encountered since its establishment.

Notable dignitaries in attendance included Nana Pampim Ako Tettebea II, Adukrom Mankradohemaa and Nida Osumanyaw Hemaa; Nana Akua Adobe Pempem Hemaa of Adukrom; and Nana Ama Adobea Asewde. Also present were members of the hospital’s board, nurses, doctors, the Member of Parliament, Hon. Kenneth Daniel, and the District Chief Executive, Hon.

In his address, the Head Doctor expressed gratitude to the traditional leaders and individuals who played key roles in establishing the facility. He paid special tribute to Mr. Seth Kumi for donating the land on which the hospital was built.

Reflecting on his personal journey, the Head Doctor revealed that he initially hesitated to transfer from Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital to the newly established Adukrom Hospital. However, he noted that the decision has since proven rewarding, citing the hospital’s growing positive impact on healthcare delivery in the community.
