Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has reaffirmed government’s commitment to partner with the Catholic Church to complete the Legacy of Hope Paediatric and Childhood Cancer Hospital at Adjen Kotoku in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region.
Speaking at the Closing Mass of the 2025 Rosary Congress in Accra, the Vice President said the government values faith-based initiatives that contribute to national development and social welfare.
“The government will work with the Church because this request is not for personal gain but for the national interest,” she stated, assuring the congregation of continued collaboration in the health sector.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang further encouraged the faithful to always prioritize the national interest, describing it as the foundation for sustainable growth, peace, and unity.
Her comments came after an appeal by the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp, who called for government support to complete the hospital project.
Archbishop Kwofie explained that the Legacy of Hope Paediatric and Childhood Cancer Hospital aims to provide critical healthcare services to children across Ghana and beyond, regardless of religion or cultural background.
He described the facility as a “beacon of hope and compassion” for children battling cancer and other complex medical conditions and a reflection of the Church’s enduring commitment to human dignity and public welfare.
Once completed, the state-of-the-art hospital will feature an Outpatient Department (OPD), a theatre, a radiology unit, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a pharmacy, a medical block, a maternity ward, and a special accommodation unit.
