The Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira East Constituency, Dr. Festus Awuah Kwofie, has inspected work on the construction of an oxygen manufacturing plant at the Dunkwa Municipal Hospital.
He was accompanied by the Municipal Chief Executive, Ebenezer Forson Appiah and Dunkwa Municipality Health Director, Dr. Benjamin Annang and conducted around the facility by the management of Dunkwa Municipal Hospital.
The oxygen plant is expected to serve surrounding towns, including Praso, Obuasi, Diaso, Wassa Akropong, Bogoso, Sefwi and others.
It is being constructed by USAID RISE, Alpha Engineering Services Limited and Arraypro Company Limited within three months.
The Dunkwa Municipal Hospital had been without an X-ray machine since 2009, until the Nana Akufo-Addo government provided a new one last year. Once completed, the facility will become a major source of oxygen supply for the Central Region.
Dr. Kwofie commended the contractors for the pace at which the project was being executed and thanked the hospital management team for their continued support.
The MP also inspected a state-of-the-art industrial X-ray machine that he had lobbied for the hospital.
