The hospital was built and commissioned in February 1961 in honour and memory of the late Tetteh Quarshie, a son of Mampong and pioneer of the Cocoa industry in Ghana. 

The hospital was initially ran as a private institution.  In 1966, it was placed under the Ministry of Health and has since then remained a government hospital.

The 123-bed  compliment hospital serves a population of over 120,000 people spanning the entire semi-urban Akuapem Ridge, its rural valley and beyond.  It is the only government hospital within a radius of 30 kilometers, the nearest being the Regional Hospital, Koforidua, some 35km Northeast. 

VISION

The hospital has a long term vision of becoming a centre of excellence in the provision of quality, affordable and accessible health care to all people in the hospital’s catchment area and beyond, and also, a centre for Teaching and Learning.

In the short term however, the hospital requires very major renovations and expansion works as part of measures towards achieving this long term vision.

The hospital provides curative services in the following units:- Obstetric and Gynecology Pediatrics, Surgery Internal Medicine Ophthalmology Ear Nose Throat Psychiatry and Dentistry.

You can look forward to having a very pleasant elective experience at Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital while enjoying the cold breeze on the beautiful Akuapim mountains.
