Fees and cover
Nobody here finds out the price afterwards
The NHIS covers a great deal and it does not cover everything. Below is where the line falls, item by item, so the conversation about money happens before the treatment rather than after it.

Before you come in
Answers to the questions we get asked
If the answer you need is not here, call the switchboard and ask. Somebody will find out rather than guess.
Do you take NHIS?
Yes. The hospital is NHIS accredited for outpatient consultations, admissions, deliveries and most laboratory work. Bring your card and a valid ID. Anything the scheme does not cover is quoted to you in writing before it starts — there are no bills here that arrive as a surprise.
How do I book an appointment?
Call +233 36 202 8140 between 7am and 7pm, send a note to appointments@vale.com.gh, or walk in. Outpatients runs six days a week and we keep same-day slots open every morning for people who woke up unwell rather than people who planned ahead.
What happens if it is an emergency?
Come straight in, at any hour — the emergency entrance is on the Civic Centre side and there is a doctor on site every hour of the day and night. If you need an ambulance, call +233 24 418 6207. Do not wait for a callback and do not stop to arrange payment first.
There is a bed, and there is a doctor
Outpatients runs Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm. Emergency is open every hour of every day — including the ones nobody plans for.
