The closure, which will span from Monday, August 4 to Wednesday, August 13, 2025, is part of a broader effort to uphold strict hygiene and safety protocols.
During this period, all trauma and surgical emergency cases will be redirected to Simango Ward, which has been designated to handle emergencies while the main unit is under maintenance.
The Ghana Armed Forces, in a statement issued by its Department of Public Relations, assured the public that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure uninterrupted medical services and minimal inconvenience.
“We wish to assure the public that measures have been put in place to ensure continuity of care and minimise inconvenience,” the military noted.
The statement further explained that the decision to close the unit is part of routine safety efforts to maintain a clean and secure environment for both patients and medical staff.
As one of the most advanced and trusted referral hospitals in the country, 37 Military Hospital plays a critical role in Ghana’s healthcare system.
Situated in the heart of Accra, the hospital is operated by the Ghana Armed Forces and serves both military personnel and civilians, handling a wide range of medical emergencies and specialized procedures.
Over the years, it has earned a strong reputation for discipline, clinical efficiency, and quality service delivery.
