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.
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 has been undertaken ahead of and throughout the hospital build process.
The new hospital will have 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.

- 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
Fomena’s sod-cutting ceremony took place in early August, marking the beginning of the hospital build. The ceremony was well attended by the District Assembly, chiefs, community members and medical students. The occasion gave the team a great opportunity to engage with the local community and was greeted with enthusiasm from all sides.
