The cutting-edge facility, valued at ยข6,556,721, is fully funded by Anglogold Ashanti Iduapriem mine and slated for completion by December 2024, as addressed by Mr. Stephen Adjei, Senior Manager of Sustainability. Wilhelm Construction Company Limited has been contracted to execute the project.

A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a specialized intensive care unit that provides close monitoring and care to newborn babies who are critically ill or premature in need of close monitoring.

The goal of a NICU is to provide a safe and supportive environment for these fragile infants to grow, develop, and recover from their medical conditions.
