The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ayire Hospital, Mr. Ayire Adongo, has officially inaugurated the newly appointed Board of Directors for the facility.
The event marks a critical milestone in the hospital’s strategic growth and its contribution to the ongoing transformation of Ghana’s private health sector.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Mr. Adongo emphasized that the swearing-in was not merely a formal event, but a reaffirmation of the facility’s commitment to strong corporate governance and improved healthcare delivery.
He highlighted the pivotal role of private health institutions in complementing the Ghana Health Service. Mr. Adongo described Ayire Hospital as a partner on the “frontline of care,” working to bridge gaps from community levels to regional healthcare delivery, thereby ensuring that the national agenda for quality universal health coverage is met.
Addressing the new Board, Mr. Adongo reminded members that their unique responsibility extends beyond administrative oversight. He charged them to guide the hospital not only in saving lives but also in training the next generation of health professionals.
He revealed the Hospital’s long-term strategic intention to establish a medical training facility.
“There is a compelling need for me to use my experience in the health sector to serve my people, not just by treating them, but by building capacity for the future,” Mr. Adongo stated.
While acknowledging sector-wide challenges—such as funding gaps, workforce migration (brain drain), and shifting disease patterns—he urged all board members to commit to public service, innovation, and, above all, the well-being of Ghanaian patients.
“Let today mark a turning point. Let’s get to work, because the health and well-being of our people depend on it,” he concluded.
Speaking on behalf of the new Board, the Chairman, Mr. Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga, expressed profound gratitude for the confidence reposed in the team. He assured management and staff of their readiness to serve with integrity and purpose.
Mr. Ayinbisa emphasized the Board’s commitment to working collaboratively with the facility’s management to enhance service delivery and uphold high professional standards.
He pledged that the Board would provide the necessary policy frameworks, infrastructure oversight, and resource stewardship to help Ayire Hospital achieve a healthier and more equitable future for its clients.
