Ghana Police Hospital marks 50th anniversary with float, health walk in Accra

The Ghana Police Hospital has officially launched activities to mark its 50th anniversary with a colourful float, health walk and aerobics session through selected principal streets of Accra on Tuesday, April 22, 2026.

The event formed part of the hospital’s Golden Jubilee celebrations and brought together management, staff, security personnel and invited guests in a spirited display of unity, fitness and gratitude.

Celebrating under the theme, “50 Years of Excellence: Delivering Quality Healthcare through Discipline, Compassion, and Teamwork,” the anniversary recognises five decades of dedicated medical service to personnel of the Ghana Police Service and the general public.

The Ghana Police Hospital was established in 1976 primarily to cater for police officers and their families, but over the years has expanded its services to meet the healthcare needs of the wider population.

Director of the hospital, COP/Dr. (Med) Samuel Otu-Nyarko, during the event, presented a commemorative citation and anniversary souvenirs to Christian Tetteh Yohuno in recognition of his support and leadership.

Speaking on the sidelines of the programme, Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Faustina Nunekpeku, said the facility continues to provide uninterrupted healthcare services to the public, with growing confidence in the quality of care delivered.

According to her, major service areas including the maternity ward and pharmacy are operating efficiently, while the outpatient department has recorded over 300 patients within a short period.

She noted that the Golden Jubilee celebration is not only a reflection on the hospital’s achievements, but also an opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to quality healthcare delivery, professionalism and patient-centred service.

Activities lined up for the anniversary celebrations are expected to run from January 2026 through to the end of year 2026 featuring health outreach programmes, stakeholder engagements, staff recognition events and other commemorative ceremonies.

The launch event also underscored the hospital’s enduring contribution to national healthcare delivery and its role as one of the country’s trusted medical institutions.
