The couple went round the various wards to interact with the patients on admission and to wish them well.
They presented assorted gifts such as fruits, drinks, biscuits and bags of rice to the children and staff of the hospital.
The gesture, according to Mrs Amissah-Arthur, was in recognition and appreciation of the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of the hospital staff.
It is an annual ritual for the second couple to spend Christmas Day with children on admission at some hospitals or orphanages.
The visit to the Tema General Hospital was the first by Mr and Mrs Amissah-Arthur.
The couple particularly visited the two children's wards at the hospital where they interacted with the children on admission and also gave them gifts.
