History edit

The Trust Hospital was established in 1992 as a not-for-profit healthcare facility exclusively for SSNIT staff, before eventually becoming a fully-fledged hospital and extended its services to the public.[6]

The Trust Hospital was incorporated in November 2010 as The Trust Hospital Company Limited in Ghana. The Trust Hospital Company Limited has three hospitals: The Trust Hospital, The Trust Specialist Hospital and the Trust Mother and Child Hospital and six satellite clinics.[7]

The Trust Hospital appointed Dr. Mrs. Juliana Oye Ameh as its first chief executive officer, since the hospital was broken off from the mother company SSNIT in January 2013.[8]

In 2014 The Trust Hospital Company Limited inaugurated a maternal and infant clinic at Osu in Accra called “Mother and Child Hospital,” which assists in providing quality and safe medical care to women and children.[12][13] The hospital has a colposcope to help with the treatment of cervical cancer in Ghana. The colposcope is a machine that can visualize the cervix and determine changes that are likely to pose a threat to the cervix.[14]

In 2018 The Trust Hospital converted to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system which serves as a network system that connects all their three hospitals and six clinics across the country.[15] During the outbreak of COVID-19[16] they introduced a new service called The Trust Hospital Telemedicine Service which allowed them serve their clients at home or in the office during the pandemic.[17]
