Oti Regional Hospital

Oti Regional Hospital is the principal public healthcare facility serving the Oti Region, Ghana's newest region carved out of the Volta Region in 2019. Located in Dambai, the regional capital, it serves as the apex referral hospital for the region's approximately 600,000 residents spread across eight districts. The hospital provides comprehensive medical services including emergency care, general outpatient and inpatient services, surgical procedures, maternal and child health services, and serves as the primary referral center for smaller health centers and CHPS compounds across Oti Region.

The hospital's establishment predates the creation of Oti Region, originally serving as a district hospital under the Volta Region administration before being elevated to regional hospital status following the region's creation in February 2019. As one of the critical infrastructure components supporting the new region, the facility has undergone gradual expansion and capacity building to meet its enhanced mandate as a regional referral center. The hospital represents part of Ghana's broader healthcare decentralization strategy to bring quality medical services closer to underserved populations in newly created regions.
