HISTORY
St. Andrew Catholic Hospital commenced operations as a community health post in a makeshift structure in the Kordiabe township in the early 1980s, managed by the Dodowa District Hospital under the Ghana Health Service (GHS). Access to healthcare in Kordiabe was essential for improving population health outcomes, promoting health equity, and providing swift access to quality care in times of need. In early 2003, the facility was officially handed over to the Archdiocese of Accra, under the leadership of the then Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, His Grace Emeritus Most Rev. Dominic Kodwo Andoh. The renovated facility was blessed and inaugurated as St. Andrew's Catholic Clinic/Maternity on July 3, 2003, at which point the administration and management were entrusted to the Holy Family Sisters. Over the years, the facility experienced significant growth with the establishment of some key units in addition to the existing OPD. As the demand for services increased, the need for further development of the facility became an unavoidable reality. The first facility in charge, the late Rev. Sr. Dhanya CHF, along with Rev. Fr. Andrew Campbell, SVD, community leaders, the CHF congregation and staff through the support of generous Philanthropists, worked diligently to enhance the facility. Their efforts included the construction of staff quarters for doctors and emergency staff, as well as infrastructure for inpatient services, a theatre, and other essential facilities.
