President John Dramani Mahama has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno and the Ghana Police Service for improved safety and security as well as crime investigations across the country.
He made the remarks on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026, during the commissioning of a new-85 bed ward complex at the Ghana Police Hospital to improve healthcare delivery for Police personnel, their families and the general public.
He noted that the new facility was part of efforts to improve the welfare of Police personnel, who often face physical and psychological demands in the line of duty.
He stressed the need for officers injured during operations to receive timely and quality medical care.
The President urged the hospital’s management and staff to maintain high standards of hygiene, patient safety and professional care, and to ensure that the facility and its equipment were properly maintained.
He also announced the donation of two new ambulances to the Police Hospital to support emergency response and patient care and further assured the Service of the provision of additional armoured vehicles and an expansion of facilities at the hospital to improve healthcare.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, welcomed the commissioning of the facility, describing it as an important step towards improving healthcare for Police personnel, their families and the general public.
He said the hospital’s expanded capacity would help reduce the need to transfer patients to other facilities and improve access to specialised care.
The IGP reaffirmed the Ghana Police Service’s commitment to maintaining the facility and ensuring that it provides quality healthcare to all patients.
