KWABENYA, GA EAST – The Kabaka Foundation, in partnership with the Ga East Municipal Hospital (GEMH), has commissioned a modern Adolescent and Antenatal Care Unit to improve access to adolescent and maternal healthcare in the municipality.
The project reflects Kabaka Foundation’s mission to advance healthcare for vulnerable populations in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It’s a fully funded facility to expand access to maternal healthcare and provide stigma-free care for pregnant teenagers.
The ceremony was chaired by the Chief of Haatso, Nii Amarh Sogbla IV, and attended by the Medical Director of the Ga East Municipal Hospital, Dr. Ayuba Seidu Abdulai, and representatives of the Greater Accra Regional Health Directorate.
The facility, named the “Oseadeeyo Owiredu Wadie I Adolescent & Antenatal Care Department”, has two sections.
The Antenatal Care Department has four consulting rooms for pregnant women, together with a pharmacy, an ultrasound room and a medical diagnostic laboratory.
The Adolescent Centre has two consulting rooms dedicated to antenatal and postnatal care for teenage mothers, who often face stigma when receiving care alongside older women.
The project was fully funded by the Kabaka Foundation Ghana and aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all by increasing access to quality healthcare.
The commissioning ceremony was led by Nana Owiredu Wadie I, Chairman of the Kabaka Foundation, in his birthday month, making the event especially symbolic.
The Medical Superintendent, Dr. Ayuba Seidu Abdulai, expressed gratitude for the partnership, while representatives from the Greater Accra Regional Health Directorate and the Municipal Health Directorate commended the initiative as timely and impactful.
This adds to the Foundation’s growing health infrastructure interventions. In September 2023, the foundation handed over to the Eastern Regional Hospital an 80-bed capacity multipurpose Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and in June 2025, the foundation handed over a newly constructed Antenatal and Postnatal Care Unit to the Ashongman Reproductive & Child Health (RCH) Post under the Ga East Municipal Health Directorate.
Distinguished guests, including municipal leaders, health directors, and hospital management, attended the event, underscoring the collective commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery.
