ABOUT BRITANNIA MEDICAL CENTRE
Britannia Medical Centre (BMC) is a modern state of the art paper-thin hospital set in the outskirts of Tema district of Accra. The hospital which became operational in 2020 was born out of the desire to bring to Ghana the highest quality healthcare that meets the needs of the people.
Central to BMC is the patient/client whose welfare we take pride in. Our staff are the greatest asset, and we believe in nurturing, developing, supporting and maintaining talent that buys into our philosophy.
Care delivery at BMC is based on a culture of openness, trust, kindness and learning. We recognise that without trust, our ambition would be short-lived. Our aim is therefore to earn the trust of our patients/clients and invite input from them so as to make our services fit for the Ghanaian middle class as well as the wider community.
BMC is a purpose built hospital with a reception, a waiting area, modern consulting rooms, imaging unit with a modern ultrasound machine and X-ray machine, an operating theatre, wards (open 4 bedded and private en-suite rooms) as well as beautiful surroundings that provide the ideal ambiance for recovery or for the visiting relatives.
Our hospital is run on an electronic medical records system Yarysa EMR that interlinks various departments allowing for seamless sharing of information and prompt availability of information that drives patient/client care.
Additionally, we would be a hub for specialised services that would be provided by experts within Ghana and from the diaspora. We have great liaisons with the Ghanaian Diaspora as well as experts from other parts of the world whom we will invite on a regular basis to complement our services by providing the Highly Specialized services that are not currently available in the country. Our hospital will provide the equipment, supporting manpower and ancillary structures for these specialties

OBSTETRICS
We believe very strongly that no woman should die in pregnancy and childbirth and this can only be achieved through comprehensive screening at the first antenatal visit followed by regular surveillance and monitoring of both the baby and the mother. Our dedicated team includes an Obstetrician who has worked in the UK at the highest level and a team of midwives who have been trained to be customer centered. We run antenatal clinics twice a week and each of these is supported by our ultramodern ultrasound scan service. Each of our women is offered a tertiary level ultrasound examination of the baby at 18-22 weeks during which we endeavour to exclude most major abnormalities. We also use ultrasound scan to monitor the growth of the babies where appropriate. Where the pregnancy is complicated or there are reasons for closer monitoring we offer inpatient care with appropriate monitoring of both the mother and baby. and husbands are encouraged to be with their wives during the surgery. We believe the pregnancy and childbirth should be a experience to be cherished and we strive to make this possible for couples. We provide care for women who are either low or high risk.REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE INCLUDING IVF
