The sixty-bed capacity Tain District Hospital at Nsawkaw is to be completed by the end of 2018. This was disclosed by Engineer Zeid, the resident Engineer of the project during a working visit to the facility by the District Chief Executive for Tain, Hon. Lawyer Charity Akua Foriwaa Dwommor. The thirty –five million dollars ($35,000.000) ultra-modern hospital when completed will be the second major referral health facility in the Brong Ahafo region fitted with state of the art medical equipment including a digital library, digital patient record keeping facility, an operating theatre, both in and out-patients pharmacy among other medical facilities. The project which started in 2011 also comes with a fifteen apartment accommodation facility for the staff of the hospital.

Engineer Zeid who took the Hon.
