The expansion provides a dedicated emergency unit, separate from the Out-Patient Department (OPD) and general wards, to improve efficiency and patient outcomes. 

 Dr Seth Amega Setsoafia, Medical Director of the hospital, said at a short ceremony that rising patient numbers and expanded services necessitated the establishment of a specialised emergency environment. 

 “Until now, emergency cases were managed alongside OPD and ward patients because we did not have a dedicated unit.  

“This new centre ensures emergencies are handled in the appropriate setting, significantly improving efficiency and patient outcomes,” he said. 

 The facility features a dedicated isolation ward for infectious cases to minimise cross-infection and protect vulnerable patients. 

 Dr Setsoafia said the centre also includes spacious premium rooms fitted with modern amenities, including kitchen facilities and coffee makers, to enhance convenience and overall patient experience. 

 He said a special care unit within the centre would cater for patients living with chronic conditions such as cancer and diabetes, ensuring focused and continuous medical attention. 

 Dr Setsoafia said the emergency unit was fully equipped with modern resuscitation tools, defibrillators, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and essential medications. 

 He expressed confidence that the expansion would enable the hospital to deliver high-quality care at moderate and competitive fees and encouraged the public to patronise the improved services. 

 Mr Fred Golo, Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, said the facility started nearly three decades ago as a small pharmacy before relocating its head office to Spintex Road. 

 He described the new centre as part of the hospital’s broader responsibility to give back to the community by improving access to quality healthcare. 

 Mr Golo said increasing patient numbers and feedback on long waiting times over the past 25 years underscored the need for expansion. 

 He said that the hospital was automating its laboratory services to enhance efficiency and speed up case processing. 

 Although privately owned, Mr Golo said the hospital remained committed to maintaining moderate and competitive charges while improving service delivery.
