Catholic health care is a ministry of healing and compassion. It is rooted in the Church’s commitment to promote and defend human dignity and respect the sacredness of every human life from the moment of conception until death. As part of this commitment, the Church desires to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care for all people especially those in poor, rural and remote areas.
Activities of the Catholic health facilities are coordinated by the Diocesan Health Service (DHS). The vision of the DHS is to make excellent patient care the hallmark for all diocesan health institutions.
The DHS liaises with the Ministry of Health, the National Catholic Secretariat, the Christian Health Association of Ghana, international and local partners and other relevant bodies for the purposes of ensuring that plans, programmes and services of the Diocesan Health Services are relevant and are in conformity with the national goals and objectives.
Diocesan Health Facilities
The Diocese has three health facilities, namely, St. Mary Theresa Hospital at Dodi-Papase, St. Joseph Hospital at Nkwanta and St. Luke Clinic at Chinderi.
