St. Joseph's Polyclinic Expansion: A Mission to Serve
Mission
Welcome to the St. Joseph's Polyclinic Mission page. Our goal is to transform St. Joseph's Polyclinic in Abira, Ghana, into a comprehensive, multi-specialty hospital. Under the leadership of Sister Maria Mathew, their dedicated team is working to bring quality healthcare closer to the community and provide critical medical services to those in need.
Current Facility & Services
Since its establishment in 1978, St. Joseph’s Polyclinic has been providing essential healthcare services to the local community, including:
Emergency Room
Operation Theater
Recovery Room
General and Maternity Wards
Outpatient Services for Malaria, Sickle Cell Anemia, Typhoid, Diabetes, and Hypertension
However, due to limited resources and space, the clinic is unable to meet the growing healthcare demands of the region.
The Need for Expansion
St. Joseph’s Polyclinic has been recognized by the government as a general/primary hospital with limited specialties. However, to serve the community more effectively, they need to expand and develop a full multi-specialty hospital. Their vision includes:
Surgical and Maternity Units
Mental Health Services
Reproductive and Child Health
24-Hour Emergency and Pharmacy Services
Radiology, Ophthalmology, ENT, and Dental Care
This expansion will provide better access to critical healthcare services for the surrounding communities.
The Expansion Plans
They are moving forward with plans to build a new, two-story multipurpose building to accommodate the expanded services. The first floor will include:
Mental Health and Ophthalmology OPDs
Store Room for Supplies
Surgical Unit and Maternity Services
The upper floor will house the Nutrition Department, Public Health Office, and additional OPDs for Dental and ENT services. Construction is currently underway, with the help of local contractors and volunteers.
I want to help!
The journey to expand and improve the hospital’s facilities is challenging, but with your support, we can achieve this goal. Donations will directly fund the construction of the new facility, purchase necessary medical equipment, and support staff training. We invite you to join this important mission and contribute to making a difference.
Every contribution, no matter the size, is a valuable step towards providing quality healthcare to those who need it most.
We greatly appreciate your support and generosity. Together, we can create lasting positive change in the healthcare system for the community.
