Famed broadcaster Kafui Dey with the EIB network has been named an ambassador for the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, whose operations continue to hang by a thread.

The Director of the Hospital, Dr Pinaman Appau, announced the appointment of Dey at a ceremony held Wednesday to outdoor him.

The hospital is plagued by many issues, the director noted, including the lack of data on mental health in Ghana, inadequate mental health professionals, funding to run the facility, among others.

As an emissary for the hospital on a two year deal, Kafui Dey would be tasked with raising Ghc 500,000 to tackle the numerous problems enumerated.

Speaking during the ceremony, Kafui called for mental health to be made a priority in the country.

“…We all have or know people who have suffered from mental disorders in society but society has disassociated itself from such people,” he said.

He promised to use his new position to do everything in his power to improve the operations of the hospital and the delivery of mental health care in Ghana.
