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.

Keep up to date with Dodowa build progress
Steel on the main clinical building at Dodowa is nearly finished, with 95% of it complete. This coupled with the completion of drainage of all swale, the work on other drainage and residential buildings coming along means that work on the site is showing real signs of progress.
As work rolls out on multiple sites, the project is able to fulfil commitment to ensuring local jobs for local people. In total, 226 Ghanaians are working on-site at Dodowa, Kumawu, Fomena and Abetifi sites.
An outcome of this great working relationship that has been building up onsite is that NMSI and the District Assembly have established a joint working team to oversee water management. With NMSI taking responsibility for internal water drainage in compliance with the DA water strategy, the DA will deal with external water drainage under our Joint External Water Management Strategy. As well as agreeing this plan we have put in place an implementation timetable which will see work completed before the rains start in June.
NMSI provides a full design/build/equip/train service for the development of locally appropriate health-related infrastructure. NMSI brings to bear the expertise of award-winning experts in the field to provide the latest in innovation and design.
