The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has recorded over 150% leap in internally-generated revenue in the past six months.
On a weekly basis, the health facility generates between 2.9 and 3.2 million cedis from the previous 1.2 million cedis.
Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah explains, “the revenue base of the hospital has improved since I came in. If we spend 42 or 45 thousand cedis to feed them occasionally, though it is not much they appreciate it”.

The mid-year performance review of the Komfo Anokye teaching Hospital was themed: "The New KATH Agenda; Recalibrating Efforts for Enhanced Health Service Outcomes”.
In the period under review, management of the hospital touted significant progress consisting mainly of infrastructure development funded through its internally generated funds.
Already, 2.6 million cedis has been spent on the renovation of the hospital's Physiotherapy Centre and the Laundry Unit.
Renovation works on the old Dialysis Centre and Main Theatre as well as the establishment of a new 24-hour laboratory at the Family Medicine block and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Centre are at advanced stages of completion.

Despite the heavy investment in infrastructure upgrade, Prof. Addai-Mensah says the hospital is in good financial standing.
An annual average of 360 thousand patients report to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for medical attention.
In the past six months, specialist O.P.D. cases recorded 133,480 attendees as against a target of 130,274 with laboratory and radiology services registering 134,543 and 33,797 as against the targets of 100,842 and 31,910 respectively.
Prof. Addai-Mensah explains service delivery has also improved.
“The attitude of some workers, Doctors and nurses have improved because when wrongdoings are brought to management punitive measures are taken so that these things are not associated with us as a hospital”, he added.
Meanwhile, management is working towards improving synergy with staff and enhancing professionalism among team members.
