The Mother and Child Hospital (formerly Kasoa Mother and Child Polyclinic[1]) is a public hospital located in Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Municipal Assembly of the Central Region in Ghana.[2][3][4] As at 2021, the Medical Superintendent of the hospital was David Mekano.[5]

History

John Mahama built the facility.[6] In 2026, Grace Ayensu-Danquah donated equipment to the hospital.[7]

Facilities

The hospital has 80 beds and a surgical theatre.[8]

Controversies

In 2024, the facility was accused of medical negligence after a 17-year-old boy called Nana Adu died there.[9]

In 2026, a pregnant woman named Abigail Opoku was reported to have died at the hospital after she was allegedly unable to undergo a caesarean section due to the unavailability of beds in the facility’s recovery ward.[10][11] The Central Regional Health Directorate of the Ghana Health Service started an investigation into the incident.[12][13][14]
