With four hospital sites now active, the on site workforce has reached nearly 400 people. A mixture of international staff support the mainly Ghanaian teams of carpenters, engineers, labourers, electricians and landscapers. As the scale of the build grows, so will the workforce, boosting local employment and local economies.
Significant progress has been made on the Fomena District Hospital Site. The site’s major earthworks have now been completed, while the foundations for the traditional health and medicine building are also done. Progress has been made on erecting the steelwork for this building and work has also begun on the hospital staff accommodation.
Google Earth’s satellite has recently passed over the Dodowa District Hospital Site and the layout and progress on the ground is clear for all to see. The sheer scale of the site is clearly visible from the image below and if you visit the Google Earth page and zoom in, you can just about make out the room layouts of the hospital staff accommodation.
With new permanent on-site manager and engineer along with the rest of the team, this site is getting going. During November works continued on the main earthworks phase and levelling. The earthworks and foundations are now being prepared for the Traditional Medicine building.
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.
