The Heal Komfo Anokye Project
The Asantehene 25th Anniversary Legacy Projects
The Asantehene’s 25th Anniversary Legacy Projects are a transformative initiative aimed at creating lasting impact in the Ashanti region and beyond, honouring the rich cultural heritage of the Asante people, and providing essential infrastructure and services for the health and wellbeing of the community.
About HeKAP
The purpose of this proposal is to address the urgent need for infrastructural improvement in Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Ghana’s second-largest teaching hospital which receives referrals from 12 out of the 16 Regions of Ghana. Despite its reputation for providing quality and affordable healthcare services and conducting groundbreaking research, KATH faces serious infrastructural challenges that affect service delivery to patients, visitors, and staff.
The Asantehene 25th Anniversary Legacy Projects, as part of its impact mission, is mobilising resources and funding to implement a comprehensive solution that will improve Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s (KATH) infrastructure and ensure that it continues to provide a more functional and efficient hospital environment that promotes healing, comfort, and safety for the people of Ashanti Region and beyond.
Specifically, the project seeks to:
- Upgrade the infrastructure and facilities of the hospital wards to meet modern standards and improve the overall patient experience. This includes improving the lighting, ventilation, and sanitation systems, as well as installing modern medical equipment and technology.
- Enhance the privacy and confidentiality of patients by providing well-partitioned areas that allow for proper isolation and infection prevention and control.
- Increase the efficiency of the hospital wards to improve the flow of patients and staff within the hospital.
- Create a more welcoming and comfortable environment for patients and visitors by improving the aesthetics and ambience of the hospital wards.
- Improve the working conditions and safety of healthcare staff by providing adequate equipment, storage and rest areas.
Present Situation Assessment
The state of the hospital wards at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital is a heartbreaking and sobering reality. Patients who come seeking medical care are met with a dilapidated and hazardous environment that offers little comfort, safety, or hope. Rusty and creaky beds, cracked and chipped floors, broken windows, and peeling paints are just a few of the distressing sights that greet patients and their families.

The project team is comprised of highly experienced professionals in their respective fields, dedicated to bringing positive change to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
