Furthermore, he remarked that the Presbyterian Churches have significantly contributed to human resource development through their educational and health initiatives, which have greatly transformed the nation.
The General Manager of the Dormaa Ahenkro Presbyterian Hospital, Rev.

He highlighted the hospital’s significant difficulties with its emergency ward, which requires support to enhance healthcare services.
