The loan to Lister Medical Services Limited will be used to finance the completion of a new medical and healthcare center located in the residential and light industrial suburb of Spintex in Accra. The total project cost for the buildings, together with supporting infrastructure and utilities, which are all nearing completion, is estimated at $2.9 million. The health center will provide specialized medical services, primarily in obstetrics and gynaecology, to a wide client base, from both Ghana and nearby countries. By offering other general healthcare services as well, the new facility will support the government’s strategy of encouraging the private sector to participate in the medical sector in order to raise the quality of care to international standards and to help alleviate under-capacity in the public system.
