Construction begins on 120-bed Specialised Trauma and Emergency Hospital in Savannah Region

Construction has begun on a new 120-bed Specialised Trauma and Emergency Hospital in the Savannah Region, located at Bole. This 16,000-square-meter facility is set to greatly enhance emergency and specialized healthcare services for the area, especially for patients in need of urgent trauma and surgical care. The hospital will be equipped with a 24-hour Accident and Emergency Unit, complete with trauma resuscitation bays and emergency operating theaters, designed to provide swift response and treatment for severely injured patients.

Additional key features will include an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a High Dependency Unit (HDU), specialized trauma wards, and a dedicated burns treatment unit. Orthopedic and surgical units, as well as advanced imaging and diagnostic facilities, will also be part of the complex. The establishment of this specialized hospital is anticipated to improve access to high-level trauma and emergency care for residents of the Savannah Region and nearby communities, while decreasing the necessity for patients to travel long distances for specialized medical services.

With contractors now on the construction site, progress is expected towards the completion and opening of the facility.
