Nyaho Medical Centre

What Nyaho Medical Centre does

Nyaho Medical Centre is Ghana's first private group medical practice, founded in 1970 by Dr. Kwami Nyaho Tamaklo and now operating as a multi-specialty private hospital network across five Ghanaian locations: Airport Main (24/7 flagship), Octagon, Primary Care Centre, Tema, and Takoradi. The company delivers comprehensive healthcare services spanning 40+ specialty areas (Obstetrics/Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Cardiology, Orthopaedics, Neurosurgery, Urology, Dermatology, Dentistry, Ophthalmology, Plastic Surgery, etc.) with 40 specialists and 12 General Practitioners, supported by advanced diagnostics including a 16-slice GE Brivo CT Scan, digital X-ray, 4D ultrasound, ECG/stress ECG, endoscopy suite, and a 24-hour laboratory.

The technology stack centers on an integrated Hospital Information System and the Serenity EMR platform (migrated in January 2022), which consolidates patient history across branches via a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and supports digital channels including online appointment booking, LiveChat, and a virtual consultation service launched in November 2024. Mission-critical facilities include the JANET WING Mother and Child Unit (2020), adult and neonatal critical care, a 24-hour pharmacy, ambulance/air ambulance services, and a Travel Clinic.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service across individuals, corporate clients, and government bodies, with revenue diversified across direct patient services, claims processed for 30+ local and international insurance companies, corporate preventive health packages (e.g., MTN Ghana partnership), and tiered health screening packages. Named partnerships include Ecobank Ghana (5% cardholder discount pilot, 2024) and MTN Ghana (preventive health packages, 2021). The company is family-owned under the Tamaklo family, with no external institutional capital disclosed, and is led by Managing Director Dr. Victoria Lokko (effective April 2025) with Dr. Elikem Tamaklo serving as Non-Executive Board Chair.

• Evercare Hospital Group: Pan-African private hospital group operating across multiple countries. A larger, well-capitalized broad incumbent that competes for premium patient and insurer segments; relevant comparable for cross-border expansion benchmarks.

Regional players

• Lagoon Hospitals: Private hospital group in Nigeria (Lagos) offering multi-specialty care, advanced diagnostics, and corporate health services. Comparable scale and service-mix to Nyaho within West Africa's broader private hospital landscape.
