The Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has assured the Catholic faithful that government will partner the Church to complete its Legacy of Hope Paediatric and Childhood Cancer Hospital at Adjen Kotoku in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region.
Speaking at the Closing Mass of the 2025 Rosary Congress, in Accra, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, the Vice President said government welcomes such faith-based initiatives that advance national development.
“Government will work with the Catholic Church because the request to complete the legacy of Hope project is not for personal gain, but for the national interest,” Prof Opoku-Agyemang said.
She also assured the congregation of continued collaboration.
The Vice President gave the assurance following an appeal by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp, to complete the hospital project.
The Archbishop explained that the Legacy of Hope Paediatric and Childhood Cancer Hospital is designed to provide critical healthcare to children across Ghana and beyond, irrespective of religion or cultural background.
He said the hospital represents a beacon of hope and compassion for children battling cancer and other complex medical conditions, adding that it stands as a testament to the Church’s commitment to human dignity and public welfare.
The facility, when completed, will include an Outpatient Department (OPD), a theatre, a radiology unit, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a pharmacy, a medical block, a maternity ward, and a special accommodation unit.
