Renovation of Mampong Maternity Hospital in Ashanti, Ghana

The Mampong Maternity Hospital serves more than 100’000 people in the Mampong Municipal District and has 55 beds catering for 2’000 deliveries a year. However, the furniture has not been changed for years and essential machinery is partly lacking. 

The project is setup to improve the infrastructure of the Maternity Hospital to allow the safe delivery of babies and to support villages in maternity health care. New beds and new equipment will be provided through Basaid, whereas the material for the renovation of the rooms itself will be taken care of by the NGO Ashanti Development. 

After the renovation, many inhabitants of the surrounding villages will have access to an improved maternity hospital infrastructure.
