Alex Akwasi Acquah, the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said the move is to complement the effort of government in providing quality but affordable healthcare across the country.
He indicated that The Community Hospitals Group has planned to roll out what they termed “One District, One Community Hospital so that people can have access to quality healthcare at a very affordable fee”.
“Government is going to roll out the One District, one factory policy but if we don’t have a good health facility across the districts, workers will go through hell when they are sick. In view of this, we have decided to partner government to build a Community Hospital in each district,” Mr. Akwasi Aquah said.

He also described as worrying the situation whereby residents in remote areas have to travel long distances in order to access healthcare.
Mr. AKwasi Acquah made the remarks Wednesday, July 12, 2017, when the Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Mrs. Gifty Twum Ampofo donated an ambulance to The Community Hospital at Kukurantumi in the Eastern Region.
The Community Hospitals Group has been operating for eight years now and has since been operating eight health facilities with morgues across the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions.
