A public hospital located in Sehwi-Wiawso, serving as a major healthcare facility in the Western North Region. The hospital provides general medical services, emergency care, and maternal health services to residents of Sehwi-Wiawso and surrounding communities.
Sehwi-Wiawso Government Hospital is a major public healthcare facility serving the Sehwi-Wiawso Municipal area and surrounding communities in the Western North Region of Ghana. As a government-operated district hospital, it provides essential medical services including general outpatient care, inpatient treatment, emergency services, maternal and child health care, and basic surgical procedures. The hospital serves as a critical healthcare hub for the predominantly cocoa-farming communities in the Sehwi region.
The hospital was established to serve the healthcare needs of Sehwi-Wiawso, the capital of the Sehwi-Wiawso Municipal District, which has been a traditional center of the Sehwi people and an important cocoa-growing area. When the Western North Region was created in 2019 from parts of the former Western Region, healthcare infrastructure like this hospital became even more vital for the newly designated region. The facility has evolved over the years to meet growing healthcare demands in this predominantly rural and agricultural area.
The hospital is located in Sehwi-Wiawso town, accessible via road from Kumasi (approximately 200km) or from Takoradi through Asankrangwa. For medical emergencies, patients can present directly to the emergency department which operates 24 hours. For outpatient services, visitors should arrive during working hours, typically 8am-5pm on weekdays, with specific departments having varying schedules.
Sehwi-Wiawso, where this hospital is located, is situated in one of Ghana's richest cocoa-producing zones, meaning the hospital frequently treats ailments related to agricultural work and serves farmers during the peak cocoa harvest seasons when the population in the area swells significantly.
