History of St. Dominic Hospital
As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Matt. 10:7, 8
In 1960, The Local Authorities from Akwatia approached the Bishop of Accra with request that the Catholic Mission should take over the newly built Clinic in Akwatia. The Chief of Akwatia then was Barima Kofi Bempong II. Bishop Bowers, the then Bishop of the Accra Diocese, in turn asked the Superior General of the Dominican Sisters, Rev. Sr. Fabiola Quack for help which was generously granted.
