ADB Ghana Medical Systems Group Limited, a Ghanaian healthcare solutions company, 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. This project marks an expansion of the company's 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. 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.
The Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence is being developed on 52 acres of land at Kwaso in the Ejisu Municipality. The centre is 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. ADB Ghana Medical Systems' involvement in the project 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.
The company's integrated approach allows it to participate in projects requiring coordination between clinical requirements, building infrastructure, and specialised hospital systems. This capability has positioned ADB Ghana Medical Systems to contribute meaningfully to the infrastructure required for quality healthcare delivery in Ghana and across Africa.
According to Mr. Diaz, the company's ambition is not simply to supply medical equipment but to build a company that provides solutions, develops expertise, and contributes to the infrastructure required for quality healthcare delivery. 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 Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Excellence project demonstrates ADB Ghana Medical Systems' commitment to supporting Ghana's healthcare sector. The company's participation in the project is expected to enhance the country's capacity to provide quality healthcare services, particularly in the area of cancer care.
