Korle Bu Main 24-Hour Pharmacy to undergo eight-week renovation

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has handed over its Main 24-Hour Pharmacy to Allencasa Enterprise for renovation works expected to be completed within eight weeks.

The project, which is scheduled to commence this week, is aimed at improving the facility’s infrastructure and creating a more conducive environment for staff and clients who depend on its services.

The hospital’s Management, through the Director of General Services, Ms Cynthia Gyakye, officially handed over the facility to the contractor.

The renovation will involve reroofing, installing new shelves, renovating offices and reconstructing other key areas of the pharmacy.

Allencasa Enterprise will execute the works under the supervision of its Project Manager, Mr Kwesi Bush.

To ensure smooth coordination, a liaison officer will be appointed to serve as the main contact between the contractor and the Pharmacy Directorate.

The contractor has also been directed to ensure that all workers wear identification badges and use appropriate personal protective equipment throughout the renovation period.

Management has further advised the contractor to schedule drilling and other noisy activities in a manner that minimises inconvenience to clients, given the sensitive nature of the hospital environment.

The hospital has emphasised the importance of the Main 24-Hour Pharmacy to the operations of the Pharmacy Directorate and expects the renovation to be carried out without disrupting the provision of essential pharmaceutical services.

The Pharmacy Directorate has pledged to support the project by providing relevant information and receiving regular updates to facilitate its completion.

The hospital says the renovation is expected to improve the pharmacy’s functionality and overall working environment for both staff and clients.
