Orthopaedic Surgery

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

Bones, joints and the movement you have lost.

Our orthopaedic service is the reason patients travel to Akwatia.

Fracture & trauma care

Simple and complex fracture fixation, including road-traffic and mining injuries.

Joint replacement

Total hip and knee replacement for arthritis and worn joints, with rehab included.

Spine

Assessment and surgical management of degenerative and traumatic spinal conditions.

Sports injury

Arthroscopic treatment of knee and shoulder injuries, with return-to-play programmes.

Why GCD

Strong outcomes, honestly priced.

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.
