Otumfuo appeals for completion of KNUST Teaching Hospital, calls it a national priority

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has issued a heartfelt appeal to the government to prioritize the completion of the long-stalled KNUST Teaching Hospital, describing it as a vital national project with far-reaching benefits for medical education and public health in Ghana.
Speaking at the 58th Special Congregation of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), the revered monarch emphasized that while the hospital project has seen notable progress, it still remains unfinished—leaving a significant gap in the training of medical and allied health students.
“I often use occasions like this to address university matters, and today, I must speak about my teaching hospital,” he said.
“This hospital is dear to me because of its unique purpose—it will bolster the training of KNUST’s medical and allied health students.”
