Capable of Expansion

Extra Income

Woody vegetative matter from excavation activities will be offered to affected land users to be used for charcoal burning to provide extra income.

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.

Design

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.

  • dodowa-gallery1
  • dodowa-gallery2
  • dodowa-gallery3
  • dodowa-gallery4

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.

'Care and Cure' concept employs international best practice for healthcare design incorporating therapeutic and functional garden spaces

  • A therapeutic environment – buildings in a landscape
  • Calming, relaxing and promoting healing
  • Celebrating views of the hospital and capturing views of the local area
  • Creating bespoke designs for each hospital responding to local environments using indigenous plants
  • Using traditional medicinal plants and herbs
  • ‘Woodland’ providing screening and shade
  • ‘Plantation’ with trees creating shade whilst maintaining views through
  • Formal gardens celebrating focal areas and entrances
  • Private gardens for each ward where patients can convalesce, relax and meet relatives
  • Open ‘Savannah’ areas providing longer views across the site and beyond
  • Swales creating attractive and effective water courses managing water flows in rainy seasons
  • Play areas for children

Hospital Progress

Keep up to date with Dodowa build progress

Dodowa District Hospital Fully Operational

By Dodowa, Press, Progress

In June 2016 the newly built Shai Osudoku District Hospital in Dodowa went fully operational.

The hospital was built by NMS Infrastructure Limited in partnership with the Ghanaian Ministry of Health on their “Built To Care Ghana” project.

Constructed predominantly by a Ghanaian workforce, with around 60% of those coming from the local community, this new 120 bed hospital is a true reflection of the quality of work that can be achieved and has set a new standard for other hospitals to aspire to.
