Ridge Hospital

Bouygues Bâtiment International delivered the transformation and extension of Ridge Hospital in Accra, a strategic project led by the Ministry of Health of Ghana to upgrade an existing facility into a modern regional hospital.

Faced with rapidly increasing patient demand, the original hospital had reached its capacity limits. The project therefore aimed to create a fully functional, high-capacity healthcare facility aligned with international standards, capable of supporting the country's growing medical needs.

The development includes a new 420-bed building, a dedicated treatment block and a state-of-the-art maternity ward, providing advanced medical services across key healthcare disciplines. Designed as one of the most advanced medical facilities in West Africa, the hospital plays a central role in improving access to quality care in the region.

One of the key challenges of the project was maintaining hospital activity throughout the construction phase. Works were carried out while the existing facility remained fully operational, requiring precise planning, phased construction and strict coordination to ensure continuity of care.

The project also integrates a strong environmental dimension. Part of the hospital's energy supply is provided by solar power, contributing to improved sustainability performance and alignment with environmental standards.

Beyond its technical and operational complexity, Ridge Hospital is a project of major national importance. It reflects the ambition of the Ghanaian government to establish a benchmark healthcare facility for medicine and surgery in West Africa, combining capacity, innovation and long-term resilience.

This dual approach, combining high-performance healthcare delivery, environmental responsibility and lifecycle management, positions the Jim Pattison Hospital as a benchmark for future outpatient care facilities.
