Title:
Ghana - Healthcare waste management improvement project for Korle Bu teaching hospital and environs
Detail:
Located in the Ablekuma South sub-metropolitan Area, KBTH is a 2,000-bed facility and hosts many medical and allied health institutions. Notable among them are Nurses Training College, Midwifery Training School, University of Ghana Dental School, University of Ghana Medical School, Ghana Medical Association, School of Medical Laboratory Technology, School of Radiology, School of Allied Health Science, Accra School of Hygiene, Medical Students Hostel, Ghana Aids Commission, Hospital and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Residential Facilities. To address the gaps in waste management and its resultant deterioration of water quality of the Korle lagoon and the ocean environment, consultants were engaged in 2014 and 2017 to assess KBTH’s solid and liquid waste systems. Nevertheless, due to lack of funds there was no progress from assessment to physical interventions. The proposed Project seeks to update the 2014 and 2017 studies to attract investments for waste management improvements at Ghana’s premiere healthcare provider and its surrounding communities.
