What things cost, before you come in
Every fee at this practice is published, here and on the wall at reception. Nobody should have to ask what a consultation costs while they are already unwell.

Everything else
The rest of the price list
Laboratory work is charged per test rather than per visit, so the figures below are what a typical panel comes to. Reception will price anything unusual before you agree to it.
GHS 250
General and family medicine
The everyday work: coughs that will not shift, back pain, sick notes, and the annual check that catches the thing nobody was looking for.
GHS 300
Chronic disease management
Hypertension, diabetes and asthma, reviewed on a schedule rather than when something goes wrong. Repeat prescriptions without a new appointment.
GHS 280
Maternal and child health
Antenatal care through to delivery referral, the full childhood immunisation schedule, and an under-fives clinic twice a week.
from GHS 90
Laboratory and diagnostics
Full blood count, malaria RDT, lipids, HbA1c, liver and kidney panels, urinalysis. Most results the same morning.
GHS 420
Cardiology and hypertension
ECG on site, ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring, and a cardiologist's clinic on the second Wednesday of each month.
from GHS 150
Vaccination and travel health
Yellow fever with the certificate, hepatitis B, typhoid, meningitis, flu, and a travel consultation for wherever you are going.
GHS 450
Urgent and emergency care
Wounds, fractures, severe malaria, allergic reactions. A duty doctor answers the emergency line at any hour of the day or night.
GHS 1,850
Executive health screening
A morning that covers bloods, ECG, vision, hearing and a full physical, with the results explained to you the same day rather than posted.
How the money actually works
Nobody should find out what something costs after it has happened. If a scheme will not cover a thing, we will tell you at the point of ordering it rather than at the desk on the way out.
What NHIS covers here
The consultation, most laboratory work and the childhood immunisation schedule. It does not cover executive screening, travel vaccines or the extended appointment.
Private schemes
We bill Acacia, Nationwide, GLICO, Apex and Premier Mutual directly. Bring the card and your member number and there is nothing to pay at the desk.
Paying yourself
Cash, card and mobile money at reception. If a course of treatment runs to something substantial, ask — we will usually split it across the months it takes.
Still not sure what you will pay?
The common questions page covers scheme cover, what a first visit includes and how repeat prescriptions are charged.
