The existing Shai-Osudoku District Hospital in Dodowa was established as a health centre in 1985. Attendance at the hospital has more than tripled from 13,080 to over 42,000 between 2009 and 2012. The Dodowa District Hospital is now helping solve the growing attendance crisis, providing faster and cheaper care for the Dodowa community. The facility is now the leading hospital in the region, serving a catchment area of 250,000 people.
Each hospital has been adapted to suit the unique topography and geographical conditions of its location by a world class team of experts from the UK and Ghana.
The innovative design of the hospitals is aimed at providing a therapeutic environment to aid patient recovery while providing value for money by delivering hospitals which require minimal maintenance, have a low energy footprint and have the capacity for future expansion.
A comprehensive process of consultation with local landowners, farmers and other stakeholders was undertaken ahead of and throughout the hospital build process.
The new hospital has 21st Century equipment and facilities and is designed to be capable of expansion from 120 beds to 200 beds.
The goal is to support the sustainable advancement of healthcare in Ghana.
