About The Methodist Hospital, Wenchi

The Methodist Hospital was established in 1951 by the Chiefs and people of Wenchi. It started as a dressing station in a small room at the current location of the Police Station.

It was transferred to its present site, also in 1951, when a single block of the local Methodist Middle School was released by the Methodist Church under the auspices of the then Superintendent Minister, the Rev. Captain (Rtd) John Dixon, who was instrumental in getting the people of Wenchi a Hospital.

The Hospital has now grown to become a two hundred and thirty eight (238) bed facility which serves as a referral center for the 19 health facilities within Wenchi Municipality, Tain and Banda Districts. The Hospital sometimes receives cases from Bamboi and Tinga Health posts in the Northern Region.

The facility on the other hand refers general cases to the Regional Hospital in Sunyani and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
