Cape Coast –The Director of the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Julius Xatse, has expressed gratitude to Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang for her sustained support while appealing for urgent assistance to protect the facility’s lands from encroachment, secure reliable transport, and repair its dilapidated roads.
He made this passionate appeal on Thursday, January 8, 2026, when Presidential Staffer Mr. Kakra Yalley and MP Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku, MP for Cape Coast North presented assorted items to the hospital on behalf of the Vice President.
The donation included 50 bags of rice, 3 sacks of sugar, 5 boxes of mackerel, 3 gallons of 25-litre oil, 2 boxes of tinned tomatoes, a basket of bread, 30 boxes of sanitary towels, 100 bags of sachet water, 30 packs of bottled water, and 3 sacks of oranges.
In appreciation, the Hospital Director noted that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang had been making generous donations to the hospital for years, even prior to her ascension to the Vice Presidency. “Madam Naana Jane has been a friend to this hospital for many years, for which we are very grateful,” he emphasized.
He seized the opportunity to outline the facility’s critical challenges, appealing for the Vice President’s intervention. “Developers are encroaching on our lands, hindering any future expansion,” he highlighted. “The hospital roads are in a deplorable state, and we lack functional vehicles for mobility and daily operations,” he revealed.
Dr. Xatse urgently appealed to the Vice President for support in acquiring a 4×4 pickup truck and a bus to transport staff and support hospital assignments.
Mr. Kakra Yalley responded promptly, urging the Director to liaise with the Regional Minister regarding the land encroachment issues and pledging to relay all their concerns to the Vice President.
Other management members present at the donation ceremony were Ms. Catherine Quarshie (Head of Administration), Mr. Vincent N.J.D. Quansah (Head of Finance), Mr. Bismark Tuffuor (Head of Nursing), Mr. Emmanuel Sakyie (Head of Pharmacy), Ms. Euphemia Duorinaa (Head of Internal Audit), and Dr. Isaac Aidoo (Clinical Coordinator).
