Through this, every person that walks into any of the 9 facilities of The Trust Hospital Company Limited would walk out happy and satisfied. “Overall, I hope to upscale the Hospital in terms of clinical care, research, continued professional education and rightful application of technology for maximal efficiency. I will also seek to build team spirit in both the medical and non-medical professionals to maintain the Hospital as one of the leaders in private healthcare providers in Africa”. Dr Ameh added.
