The Trust Hospital, also known as The Trust Hospital Company Limited, is a Ghanaian healthcare facility that used to provide healthcare services to the staff of SSNIT and their dependants. ^[1] It was later upgraded to a full-fledged hospital to extend their services to the general public. ^[2] The Trust Hospital engages in a number of health screening activities including Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns ^[3] for the general public through partnership with other private organizations. ^{[4] [5]}

History

The Trust Hospital was established in 1992 as a not-for-profit healthcare facility exclusively for SSNIT staff, before eventually becoming a fully-fledged hospital and extended its services to the public. ^[6]

The Trust Hospital was incorporated in November 2010 as The Trust Hospital Company Limited in Ghana. The Trust Hospital Company Limited has three hospitals: The Trust Hospital, The Trust Specialist Hospital and the Trust Mother and Child Hospital and six satellite clinics. ^[7]

The Trust Hospital appointed Dr. Mrs. Juliana Oye Ameh as its first chief executive officer, since the hospital was broken off from the mother company SSNIT in January 2013. ^[8]

The colposcope is a machine that can visualize the cervix and determine changes that are likely to pose a threat to the cervix. ^[14]

In 2018 The Trust Hospital converted to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system which serves as a network system that connects all their three hospitals and six clinics across the country. ^[15] During the outbreak of COVID-19 ^[16] they introduced a new service called The Trust Hospital Telemedicine Service which allowed them serve their clients at home or in the office during the pandemic. ^[17]
