The Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), has held series of activities to commemorate its 100th anniversary and also mark the Ghana Month celebration.
The event saw members of staff dressed in traditional wear and others in their school wears.
On the menu was rich local cuisines including waakye, gari and beans, popularly known as ‘gobɛ’, kenkey and fish, banku and okro, tuo zaafi with snack such as sobolo, asana, lamugin, adunle, egg and pepper.
Speaking to The Spectator, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the hospital, Mustapha Salifu said the day was to help staff identify with their roots and generate excitement among them.
He said first and second Fridays in the month of March were days staff use to go ‘old school and also represent your region.’
According to Mr Salifu, the hospital as part of its year-long centenary celebration would embark on a clean-up exercise and a medical outreach as part of efforts to give back to the soceity.
“There will be a homecoming ceremony for all former trainees’ staff, and children born in the hospital and all clients of the facility,” the PRO said.
He said later in the year, the hospital will organise an innovation summit – where all innovations in the various departments would be outdoored, adding that there would also be inter-agency fun games, public lectures, staff awards and a quiz on the history of the hospital.
Mr Salifu said currently there was a project also known as “adopt a ward campaign” where individuals or organisations can adopt and renovate a ward adding that about 30 wards had been identified for the campaign.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
