Ghanaian healthcare solutions company, ADB Ghana Medical Systems Group Limited, is leading the hospital engineering and infrastructure component of the $100 million Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence at Kwaso in the Ashanti Region.
The company’s involvement marks an expansion of its operations from medical equipment supply into hospital engineering, construction, maintenance and project management.
Established in 2006 by Adann Benjamin Diaz, ADB Ghana Medical Systems has evolved from a medical supplies business into a specialist healthcare solutions provider serving hospitals, government agencies, non-governmental organisations and other institutions within the health sector.
Mr Diaz said the company’s growing participation in major healthcare infrastructure projects reflects its ambition to contribute to Ghana’s health sector beyond the supply of medical equipment.
“Our ambition is not simply to supply medical equipment. We want to build a company that provides solutions, develops expertise and contributes meaningfully to the infrastructure required for quality healthcare delivery in Ghana and across Africa,” he said.
ADB Ghana Medical Systems has expanded its services to include the planning, management and maintenance of hospital environments and technical systems, as well as turnkey hospital construction.
The company says the integrated approach enables it to address the broader needs of healthcare facilities, covering everything from medical equipment required by clinicians to the infrastructure, utilities and technical systems needed to keep hospitals operational.
This capability has positioned the company to participate in projects requiring coordination between clinical requirements, building infrastructure and specialised hospital systems.
The Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence is being developed on 52 acres of land at Kwaso in the Ejisu Municipality.
Named in honour of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the five-year project is being funded by Breast Care International (BCI), Peace and Love Hospitals, Global Health Catalyst and the University of Pennsylvania.
The overall project is estimated at $100 million, with the first phase expected to cost about $10 million.
