The Eastern Regional Hospital aspires to provide the general public with quality comprehensive secondary level in-patient and out-patient healthcare services and as a center of learning in both clinical and non-clinical areas. Excellence in quality health care is our hallmark.
In the last four years we have strived to improve patient care while also increasing access to specialized services. We have ably added on Renal Dialysis, in-house pathology services, Speech and Language Therapy/Audiology, Nutrition Clinic and Specialist psychiatric services. We have also revamped our maternal and neonatal services through partnership with various stakeholders including Kybele/Path and the Kabaka Foundation. Together with Operation Smile, we operationalized the Speech and Language Therapy/Audiology services and carried out surgical procedures. Penn State and other international partners also undertook specialist surgical procedures including Orthopaedic and plastic surgeries.
We will focus on human resource training of specialist doctors, nurses, pharmacists and laboratory personnel as well as non-clinical staff. The Hospital gained accreditation from the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons for training of Fellows in General Surgery, General Family Medicine, Obstetrics&Gynaecology and Paediatrics in January, 2024. Training in General Surgery for the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, Residency Training for Nurse Specialists by the West African College of Nurses, House Officers Training and Clinical Training for Students; both government and privately accredited are ongoing. The Hospital also partners with Penn State Medical School in the USA for student exchange training.
In the area of equipment and logistics, the hospital will continue to provide modern equipment for clinical care in all specialties. The Ghana Health Service through the Ministry of Health have replaced our old CT Scan with a modern InsitumCT338 Machine. They have also installed a new 80NMm3 oxygen plant in the facility to replace the old plant and resolve our challenges with oxygen supply. We further piped several wards to ensure uninterrupted oxygen supply. The Laboratory has been resourced and was accredited with ISO15189 Certification from the United States Pharmacopeia in 2022.
