Government has reiterated its commitment to fulfill its campaign promise of building a military hospital in Tamale.
The hospital is expected to provide healthcare needs of personnel and civilians in the northern part of the country.
In a speech read on behalf of the President at the 2017 graduation parade, the Vice President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia also indicated that government will roll out the Barracks Regeneration Project to renovate and build new ones.
“It is my government plan to roll out a comprehensive housing programme dubbed the barracks regeneration project to address the accommodation needs of our dependable soldiers.” He said more military personnel will also be accommodated. “Other infrastructural needs will receive equal attention from government.
I have a strong belief that with the necessary intervention, the infrastructural challenges of the Armed Forces will be resolved.” He said government will soon complete the third phase of the 37 Military Hospital. “I therefore ask for your forbearance and patience as measures are put in place to remedy the accommodation challenges.
As medical graduates, it may interest you to know, that as part of our manifesto, we promised to build another military hospital in Tamale.
