Acacia Health Insurance limited, a private mutual health insurance company in Ghana has opened an ultra-modern health facility known as Acacia Medical Center at East Legon in Accra.

The facility, which is the first of its kind to be operated by a private mutual health insurance company in Ghana is expected to improve the health delivery system.

Being a Preferred Health Insurance Company in Ghana, the company has set up the well-equipped facility for all its accredited Service Providers to provide comprehensive healthcare for all its members across the country.

 There are various product options specially designed to cater for all categories of businesses and levels of employees.

Established in 2003 with few members, Acacia now boasts of 25.000 members on its scheme with 400 accredited pharmacists and hospitals across the country.

The company offers a comprehensive medical care package to members, which include amongst others general consultations, laboratory services, electro and echocardiograms surgeries, dental care, prescribed drugs and optical care.

The ultra modern outpatient hospital is equipped with the latest medical equipment to provide sound and efficient medical care for its valued clients.

The state-of-the-art medical facility has put in place a team of qualified medical personnel in all departments for specialist care.

In a welcome address, the CEO of the hospital, Dr. Dan V. Armooh said the commissioning of the hospital is part of the company’s vision to provide the kind of medical care most suitable for their clients.

He said the idea to start with an out out-patient facility was founded on research he conducted which suggested that 85 of the cases treated at hospitals are out-patient clients.

He said the hospital will never hesitate to refer patients to some of their accredited health facilities when the need arises.

Dedicating the facility, the Senior Pastor of the Adenta branch of the International Central Gospel Church, Prophet Christopher Annoh, asked management of the facility to base their operations on the foundation of faith and love.

He said faith will make all what they want to do come to pass while true demonstration of love at first hand in the hospital can heal the sick even before doctors start attending to them.

The short impressive ceremony was witnessed by some business executives who are board members of the company such as Mr. Krobo Adusei Jr., CEO of Safe Bond Ghana Ltd., Peter Osei Duah, Mr. George Ofosuhene CEO of Bond Financial Services and Mr Peter Illiasu, an investment banker.
