President John Dramani Mahama has expressed confidence that the reconstruction of the La General Hospital will be completed and ready for commissioning by November 2027, following a site inspection.

Accompanied by the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the President commended contractors and workers for the steady progress, stressing the need to maintain momentum to meet the deadline.

He noted that the hospital’s closure had placed significant pressure on nearby facilities, making its completion critical to restoring healthcare access in the area.

The President also outlined plans to repurpose the COVID-era emergency center at Burma Camp to handle emergency cases and reduce treatment delays, while highlighting the government’s broader push toward preventive care through the recently launched Free Primary Healthcare initiative.

The Health Minister explained that the project, which began redevelopment in 2020, faced funding and payment delays but resumed fully in 2025 after outstanding issues were resolved.

He added that the hospital will serve over 50,000 residents in La and surrounding communities, significantly strengthening healthcare delivery in the capital.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
