Aisha Hospital delivers first-ever IVF Baby, opens new dialysis centre in Northern region

Aisha Hospital in Tamale, Northern Ghana, achieved a historic milestone by delivering its first In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) baby and commissioning a new Dialysis Unit. This significant move aims to expand access to advanced fertility and renal care in the region. At the commissioning ceremony on August 15, 2026, Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria, the Founder and Chairman of Aisha Hospital, expressed his joy and emphasized the celebration of hope, healing, and new beginnings.

Dr. Zakaria highlighted how the hospital's establishment in 2023, under the patronage of the Speaker of Parliament, has pursued a vision of bringing specialist healthcare closer to the people of Northern Ghana. The successful IVF delivery marks a major breakthrough for the hospital's Fertility Centre, providing advanced assisted reproductive services closer to home for families who previously faced limited options.

The newly established Dialysis Unit, making Aisha Hospital the only private hospital in the region to offer such services, is crucial for kidney patients who require regular dialysis treatments. By reducing the burden on patients who previously had limited regional options, the unit will improve their survival, finances, and quality of life.

The hospital's expansion plans, including the addition of oncology and cancer care services by 2026 and a surge to a 250-bed facility by 2027, demonstrate its commitment to meeting growing healthcare demands. The event also underscored the importance of collaboration, with Aisha Hospital partnering with specialists from India, Accra, and Savannah to support its rapidly growing specialist services.

Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria expressed optimism that by 2030, Aisha Hospital will become a recognized destination for medical tourism, generating over 2,500 employment opportunities and contributing to the socioeconomic development of Northern Ghana.
