OPD / Emergency Unit
The adult OPD, emergency unit, and casualty ward forms the eastern part of the eastern regional hospital. It is the most prominent entry point of the hospital, thus, often referred to as the eye of the hospital.
The adult OPD block houses the main records unit and the UMB bank outlet adjacent to it; the adult emergency unit; the information desk; most of the consulting rooms in the hospital; the casualty ward; the main and night pharmacies.
Prior to 2018, emergency cases were attended to on the casualty ward. However, in 2018, a new 9 bed (often increased to 15 bed) emergency unit fitted with monitors and piped oxygen was constructed just at the entrance of the department, opposite to the records unit.
The adult OPD, emergency unit, and casualty ward is headed by Dr. Attipoe-Djagmah Gabriel, a family physician. The matron in-charge of the department is madam Doreen Zaliatu Tanye (PNO).
