The Head Pastor of the Love Community Chapel, Rev. George Ayiku, has said there is pressure on the delivery of health service in the country due to inadequate health facilities.
He said the healthcare provided by the private sector was less than 10 per cent, with about 10,000 people to a hospital.
Rev. Ayiku disclosed this at the inauguration ceremony of the Love Community Hospital in Accra, as part of the church’s social responsibility.
He said the nation’s health services would improve if more clinics and hospitals were established by the private sector. “For health service delivery to improve in our nation, we cannot and should not expect the government to do it alone , that is why Love Community Hospital has been established to deliver quality healthcare which would meet the increasing health demand of the country ”, he stated.
Rev. Ayiku called on the general public to support the hospital to achieve its aim of delivering quality health services to the community.
In his remarks, the Member of Parliament for Okaikoi South, Nana Akomea, encouraged the management of the hospital to enrol with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to enable all community members to benefit from the facility.
He congratulated the management and members of the church, and urged them to support towards the maintenance of the hospital.
