Our flagship service. Fracture care, joint replacement, spine and sports injury surgery — strong outcomes at a fraction of the cost of travelling abroad.
What we treat
Our orthopaedic service is the reason patients travel to Akwatia.
Simple and complex fracture fixation, including road-traffic and mining injuries.
Total hip and knee replacement for arthritis and worn joints, with rehab included.
Assessment and surgical management of degenerative and traumatic spinal conditions.
Arthroscopic treatment of knee and shoulder injuries, with return-to-play programmes.
Why GCD
Surgery, imaging and physiotherapy sit under one roof, run by a team that has been doing this work for years. That continuity is what produces good outcomes — not a bigger building.
Costs are explained before you decide, and are a fraction of treatment in Accra or abroad. We would rather you understand the price than be surprised by it.
Published outcome figures and a price guide will be added once the hospital confirms them.

The care journey

An orthopaedic clinic review of your history, pain and movement.
Same-site X-ray and ultrasound so the plan is based on real pictures.
A scheduled theatre list with costs explained before you agree.
Structured rehabilitation starting on the ward, not weeks later.
Follow-up clinics until you are back at work and living normally.
