President of Malta Marie Louise Coleiro Preca visited the Maltese hospital in Ghana, describing it as a miracle of love and generosity.

The President visited the HopeXchange Medical Center in Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana, during her official visit leading a trade delegation to the country.

She said that the care being given in the hospital is tangible proof that when persons from different countries and cultures work together "the world we live in can be a better place."

The medical centre operates under the direction of HopeXchange - a group of people with expertise in healthcare, business, law and philanthropy based across the globe - in collaboration with the Ghana Mission Foundation of Malta. HopeXchange traces its roots to Malta.

Built on 6.15 acres of land, the hospital provides inpatient and outpatient services and hosts, among others, a pediatric ward, three surgical operating theatres, an intensive care unit, a research laboratory, a vaccination centre, a blood bank, a pharmacy and educational rooms.
