The Nalerigu Baptist Medical Centre — widely known as Nalerigu-Gambaga Hospital — is a mission hospital in Nalerigu, the capital of the North East Region, run by the Ghana Baptist Convention with long-standing support from the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board. It is one of the most important referral hospitals in northern Ghana, serving a catchment that stretches across the North East Region and into neighbouring communities in the Upper East and Northern Regions, and even across the border into Burkina Faso and Togo. **History and identity.** The hospital grew out of Baptist missionary work in the Gambaga–Nalerigu area, with the medical centre established in the mid-20th century as part of the Baptist mission's health outreach to the Mamprusi people and the wider north. It sits in the traditional heartland of the Mamprugu Kingdom, whose overlord is the Nayiri of Nalerigu — so the hospital is woven into a place of real royal and cultural significance, not just a medical facility on a map. **What it does.** Nalerigu-Gambaga is a general hospital offering outpatient and inpatient care, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, internal medicine, and a well-known eye care programme. It has trained generations of health workers and runs community health outreach, and it is a key partner in Ghana Health Service referral chains for the north. Because it is mission-run, it has historically combined subsidised care with donor and church support — a model that matters enormously in a region where travel distances to Tamale or Bolgatanga are long and costly. **Practical notes.** It is a teaching and referral site, so patients come from far; expect the usual realities of a busy northern mission hospital — strong community trust, but resource constraints. If you need current details on services, fees, visiting hours, or a specific department, those change and I don't have a verified live source in front of me — say the word and I'll search deeper for you. A fitting thought from Mamprugu: *"Yɛn nyinaa yɛ abusua"* — we are all one family — which is exactly the spirit in which Nalerigu Baptist has served the north for decades. Are you asking as a patient, a student, a researcher, or someone tracing the hospital's history? Tell me and I'll go deeper.
