Our history
Four patients, a rented room, and seventeen years
Nothing about this centre was designed in advance. Every part of it started as a family asking for something we could not yet do.
Seventeen years
How the centre got to where it is
None of it was a plan. Each of these was a family asking for something the centre could not yet do, and then it could.
2009
Four patients and a rented consulting room
Dr. Regal-Adjei left the wards at Korle Bu with a list of four families who had asked him to keep looking after their parents. The first clinic was two afternoons a week above a pharmacy on the Spintex Road.
2012
The home service starts properly
Two nurses, one car, and the realisation that most of what the clinic was treating had been caused by something in the house. The home assessment has been part of every plan since.
2015
Airport Residential, and the first beds
Six beds above the clinic, so that somebody who needed watching overnight did not have to be sent to a hospital that did not know them. It is sixteen beds now and the principle has not changed.
2018
Physiotherapy comes in-house
After counting how many of our stroke patients never finished a rehabilitation course because of the traffic between here and the therapist. The gym opened on the ground floor that October.
2021
The monthly notes
Written for the families who had spent the pandemic unable to visit, and kept afterwards because they turned out to be the thing families valued most. Two thousand four hundred households get one now.
2026
A second site, and the same rule
Planning is under way for a Tema clinic. The rule it will be built on is the one from 2009: one named nurse per family, and a plan written down before anybody is charged for anything.
