Akatsi: St. Paul's Hospital Limited in Akatsi is set to open a specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic in May to expand access to quality maternal and reproductive healthcare in the municipality and nearby communities. The facility is expected to provide comprehensive, patient-centred services, with a strong focus on infertility and improved gynaecological health outcomes.
According to Ghana News Agency, in a statement signed by Mr Seyram Dagbui, Director and Administrator of the hospital, management said the initiative formed part of efforts to strengthen specialised healthcare delivery in the area. 'We are dedicated to providing holistic and compassionate care that responds to the unique health needs of women,' the statement said. He noted that the clinic represents a major step towards improving access to specialist services closer to home.
Services to be offered include general gynaecology consultations, specialist obstetric care, urogynecology, infertility evaluation and management, and treatment for menstrual disorders and pelvic pain. The facility will also provide cervical cancer screening and undertake both minor and major gynaecological procedures.
Management indicated that the clinic would be staffed by experienced specialists and supported by modern medical systems to ensure safe, confidential, and efficient service delivery. Residents have welcomed the development, describing it as timely amid growing demand for specialised women's health services.
The hospital is located opposite GCB Bank and near Akatsi College of Education (AKATSICO), a position expected to improve accessibility for clients within and beyond the municipality. Prospective clients have been advised to book appointments ahead of the official opening through the hospital's contact lines.
The new clinic adds to recent expansions by the hospital, including the introduction of an Accident and Emergency Unit and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), aimed at improving emergency response and newborn care. These developments underscore the hospital's growing role as a key provider of comprehensive healthcare services in the municipality and are expected to enhance health outcomes across the Volta Region.
