The management of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital would soon establish specialised clinics to tackle stroke, cancer and diseases that afflicts men and women.
The clinics also aim at improving the specific needs of their clients in order to serve them better.
In addition, the surgical medical emergency and accident emergency centres would be merged to conform to current practices; therefore a team of emergency room physicians from New York University would visit the hospital to finalise the arrangement.
This was announced by Professor Nii Otu Nartey, Chief Executive Officer of the hospital at its annual performance review meeting in Accra on Wednesday.
The meeting between management and heads of department and units; enables the hospital to review the previous year's activities in order to improve on its core business of health care delivery to patients.
It also affords them an opportunity to evaluate their achievements, strength and weaknesses to improve on their performance.
Professor Otu Nartey said the management had commenced full implementation of a sub budget management centre concept to make the centres autonomous and financially responsible for efficient running of their services.
He said last year, the management completed
the medical block, labour wards on the second floor, new consulting rooms for child health department, renovation of the old physiotherapy building and expansion of the satellite pharmacy buildings.
On-going projects at the consulting rooms and offices on the ground floor of the surgical block and reproductive health centre would be completed in addition to networking of the hospital to make it a paperless one.
New projects to be embarked upon this year; include the construction of a new child health emergency and a new Gynaecological block, while the national radiotherapy centre would be expanded and re-equipped to meet the needs of the patients.
Professor Otu Nartey said government had provided funds for the replacement of all the elevators at the hospital and installation would commence as soon as the procurement process was over.
He announced that management with government's support was sourcing funding to develop an ultra modern emergency and a specialist care centre for the eye, urology, neurosurgery and other specialised disciplines with the state of the art equipment to turn the hospital into a medical hub in the sub region.
Professor Otu Nartey said the hospital's new board had requested for a new strategic plan to replace the existing one, to modernise its ageing infrastructure and equipment to meet the growing needs of clients.
