Habana Medical Service (HMS), the Premier Private Hospital in Northern Ghana was established in 2011 in the Tamale metropolis by Dr Thomas Winsum Anabah, a Consultant Anaesthesiologist with Masters in Critical Care and Emergencies. It started with in a four bedroom private house converted into a day clinic with an objective of attending to walk-in clients with non-communicable disease. Hard pressed with space, the living room was converted into a reception, nurses’ station and a dispensary. One of the four bed rooms was resourced to serve as a consulting room with diagnostic aids such as the ECG and ultrasound machines. One of the rooms was fixed for resuscitation, short observation, nebulization and day procedures (like change of catheter, injections etc).The third room was fixed to serve as a procedure room for pain management (nerve blocks and insertion of catheter for long term pain management). The fourth room was reserved for a laboratory. At the beginning this laboratory could only perform hematology and parasitology analysis. All other tests were outsourced to private laboratories.

HMS start with a hand full of medics (one permanent Doctor, three permanent nurses, one laboratory technician and one dispensary technician), these professionals were assisted by a receptionist who doubled as the cashier; a store keeper also doubled as procurement officer; two orderlies and a security officer provided security at night.  In less than two months of operations, we had to engage the services of part-time staff to meet the exigencies of the moment (patients begun to refuse transfers to other hospitals for admissions after their initial resuscitation at HMS). This compelled management to acquire an addition house within a compound to turn into wards for admissions. To complement this expansion, management upgraded the laboratory, employed two laboratory technologists culminating into abrogation of outsourced services contracts. Our turnaround time thereafter improved remarkably and quality of results were undoubtedly superb. Currently, Habana’s laboratory services is second to none in northern Ghana.

By the end of 2012, HMS became the most preferred healthcare service provider in northern Ghana. With two permanent Doctors, five permanent nurses and several part-time medical professionals, HMS was able to commence 24/7 emergency service, specialist day clinics from Monday to Saturday with a capacity to admit nine in-patient daily and a theater to conduct minor surgeries. Presently, all major companies (national and international) established in northern Ghana are our major clients benefiting our private health insurance services. HMS by dint of quality service delivery and best management received the first ever accreditation of health facilities from the United Nation as the only healthcare provider for all it’s employees in northern Ghana in 2013.

The above agreement did not come without a challenge. Early 2013, HMS faced serious challenges with space for expansion to accommodate clients and could not introduce more service to meet the demands arising. Management secured an acreage of land in 2013. Immediately a design for purpose ready by an architect and a contractor sent to site to start work. In June 2016 the building was completed, and the transition from the old building to new building was swift.

building was swift.
