The F. Alpha and Omega Specialist Hospital has marked its first anniversary with a pledge to continue delivering quality, accessible healthcare to residents of Madina and beyond.
At a commemorative event held on April 12, 2024, Member of Parliament for Madina, Hon. Francis Sasu, lauded the hospital’s contributions to healthcare in the area. He commended the leadership for their commitment and pledged to advocate for international support from institutions such as the World Bank and FIC to help replicate similar initiatives across the constituency.
Reflecting on the hospital’s journey, Managing Director Mr. Francis Fosu recounted its humble beginnings and rapid growth over the past year. “On April 12, 2023, we began this journey to establish a facility of this magnitude. One year on, we are proud of what has been accomplished,” he said.
Mr. Fosu shared impressive operational statistics from the hospital’s first year: over 85,332 outpatient visits and 11,308 admissions or detainments, with daily OPD cases averaging between 200 and 350. He noted that antenatal care and deliveries were offered completely free of charge to NHIS card-holding pregnant women, resulting in 75 cesarean sections over the year.
The surgical department also recorded significant activity, performing 140 surgeries, including 40 hernia repairs and 15 appendectomies, among other major and minor procedures.
A key highlight of the hospital’s operations has been its partnership with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), which enabled free NHIS registration and renewals for all, facilitating immediate access to care.
Staff capacity has grown significantly, rising from an initial 35 clinical and non-clinical personnel to over 80 within one year—an indication of increasing patient demand and service expansion.
Mr. Fosu expressed gratitude to the hospital’s dedicated staff, especially the clinical team and orderlies who ensure a clean and safe environment. He also credited his wife, Mrs. Rita Fosu, for her steadfast support and shared commitment to the hospital’s vision.
“With the lessons of the past year, we are confident in setting even higher goals for the year ahead. We welcome all stakeholders to support our mission of transforming healthcare in Madina,” he said.
Located on a three-acre property at Madina Powerland, near Ritz Junction, the four-storey facility provides a broad spectrum of services including general outpatient and inpatient care, specialist surgery, pediatrics, antenatal, obstetrics, and gynecology.
Two new departments—the IVF Center and a Premium Center—were officially launched during the anniversary celebration. Mr. Fosu explained that the Premium Center was established to meet the needs of clients who prefer personalized, non-NHIS services.
“We recognized a growing demand for specialized healthcare experiences, and this center is our response to that need,” he said.
He also spoke on the spiritual aspect of maternal care: “We believe childbirth is a divine gift from Almighty God, and it was important to create a space that honors and supports mothers through this sacred experience.”
Also in attendance was Mr. Bernard Brown, Greater Accra Regional Director of the NHIA, who praised the hospital’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. He revealed that F. Alpha and Omega Specialist Hospital had registered over 16,000 people onto the NHIS, contributing GHS 310,000 to the scheme.
Mr. Brown reiterated the NHIA’s commitment to achieving universal health coverage and condemned illegal copayment practices. “Copayment places an undue financial burden on NHIS members. I’m pleased to confirm that F. Alpha and Omega does not engage in such practices—they have been tested and cleared,” he affirmed.
As the hospital embarks on its second year, the leadership remains resolute in its mission to deliver affordable, high-quality healthcare, underpinned by faith, innovation, and community partnership.
