Our Doctors
Trusted Experts In Paediatric Care
Consultant-led, paediatric-only, and on this site rather than on a rota that visits twice a month.

Six People Who Only Treat Children
Every consultant here is a paediatric specialist by training rather than an adult physician who also sees children. It is the difference the whole hospital is built on.
In Their Own Words
What each of them has spent their career arguing for — which is usually a better guide to a doctor than a list of letters after a name.
Dr Kofi Adjei-Mensah
Paediatric Cardiology
16 years in paediatric practice
Set up the echo service that now screens every newborn at Sprout before discharge, and has argued for nine years that a murmur found on day one is a different disease from one found at five.
MBChB, FWACP (Paediatrics), Fellowship in Paediatric Cardiology
Dr Ama Serwaa Boateng
Neonatology
13 years in paediatric practice
Runs the eighteen-cot neonatal unit and the kangaroo-care programme beside it. Publishes the unit's survival figures every year whether or not they flatter the hospital.
MBChB, MGCPS (Paediatrics)
Dr Naa Dedei Quarshie
Paediatric Neurology
11 years in paediatric practice
Leads the epilepsy clinic and the developmental assessment team. Keeps Thursday afternoons free for second opinions from anywhere in the country, referral letter or not.
MBChB, FWACP (Paediatrics), MSc Clinical Neurology
Dr Kwame Antwi-Boasiako
Paediatric Surgery
19 years in paediatric practice
Leads the two paediatric theatres and the pre-assessment clinic before them. Believes most cancelled operations are a scheduling failure rather than a clinical one, and has the figures to argue it.
MBChB, FWACS (Paediatric Surgery)
Dr Efua Nyameye Larbi
Paediatric Pulmonology
9 years in paediatric practice
Built the asthma pathway that halved readmissions in its first two years, largely by giving every family a written plan and a phone number rather than a leaflet.
MBChB, MGCPS (Paediatrics)
Abena Owusu-Ansah
Director of Paediatric Nursing
21 years in paediatric practice
Runs the wards, the rota and the induction every new nurse goes through. If this hospital feels calm at three in the morning, it is because of decisions she made at three in the afternoon.
RN, BSc (Paediatric Nursing), MSc Nursing Administration
Consultant clinics run six days a week. If you would rather see the same doctor each time, say so when you book — named-doctor continuity is the default here, not a request.
Our Promise
Four Things We Will Not Compromise On
Open Every Hour
A consultant paediatrician physically present from eight in the morning until midnight, and on call in the building overnight. Every night.
One Team, One File
Three specialities in one morning rather than three appointments in three months — and one set of notes that all of them write in.
Parents Stay
A parent bed beside every cot on every ward. Nobody has ever been asked to leave their child here at visiting time.
Said Plainly
Every result explained in words you can repeat to somebody else, and written down before you go home. Acronyms are our problem, not yours.
Parent Stories
What Families Say After They Go Home
My daughter was admitted at two in the morning and somebody rang me at six to say exactly what had happened and what would happen next. Nobody had ever done that before.
Adzo Fiadzo
Adenta, Accra
They let me stay in the room the whole night. The nurse explained the monitor to me twice without once making me feel stupid for asking.
Esi Amponsah
Tema
Dr Quarshie told me what she did not know as clearly as what she did. I have never been so reassured by somebody admitting the limits of a test.
Nii Armah Tetteh
East Legon, Accra
