Dr. Michael McCarthy Presents Sinel Specialist Hospital: The Best Surgical Hospital in Ghana

Dr. Michael McCarthy, CEO of Sinel Specialist Hospital, presents the patient-centred family medical facility. Over the past 40 years, Sinel has evolved from a pioneer in women’s healthcare to a devoted one-stop family hospital in Tema.

“My dad started Sinel Specialist Hospital in 1982. His vision was to provide services for women specifically, because he was a gynecologist. He trained in Switzerland and moved to Ghana in 1977. Sinel was a huge and awesome success at that time. During my dad’s time, there was a lot of innovation to include; pap smears, cervical screening, laparoscopy and ultrasound. That was the time ultrasound was just coming out, and he was one of the first to have an ultrasound scanner in Ghana. Even the innovation to have a hospital just for women was something unique which was not happening in Ghana at that time. It is now very common to see women’s hospitals in Ghana. I joined Sinel Specialist Hospital full-time about 12 years ago, and we have been able to grow the hospital from the entrepreneurship time to this current time where we are a huge corporate entity in this space. Currently, we are not only focusing on women, we are also focusing on children and families. The fourth focus that we have is operating theater accessibility. And recently we were awarded as the best surgical hospital by the Ghana West Africa Healthcare Excellence Awards 2022 as a testament to how we have been able to keep our theaters open 24 hours for the past 40 years. In a nutshell, that is Sinel from its beginning 40 years ago to where we are currently”, says Dr. Michael McCarthy.
