Ada East: District Hospital to expand Emergency Ward facility.

Management of the Ada District Hospital has cut sod for the construction of wards to accommodate Covid-19 suspected cases.

According to the senior medical officer for the District Hospital at Faithkope in the Ada East District, He said the existing wards are not spacious enough to contain more cases.
