Parliament has approved an export credit agreement between the Government of Ghana and Unicredit Bank Austria AG for an amount of Thirteen Million Five hundred thousand Euros for the financing of the construction and equipping of five polyclinics in the Greater Accra Region.
Presenting the report of the Finance Committee for the approval of the Facility the Chairman of the Finance Committee James Avedzi said greater Accra was chosen because current healthcare infrastructure in the region is unable to cater for the increasing population due to urbanization.
The five polyclinic projects will be undertaken in Adentan, Ashaiman, Bortianor Oduman and Sege.

The Polyclinics will have offices and staff buildings for Doctors and Nurses, waiting areas, teaching facilities and Staff Houses.
