Holy Family Hospital is located at Nkawkaw, in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Nkawkaw is the capital of The Kwahu West Municipality. Nkawkaw (Kwahu West) is a rapidly expanding town of about One hundred and forty-five thousand (145,000). The Hospital started as an Out-Patient Clinic (OPD) in 1949 by the Missionary sisters, Servants of the Holy Spirit (SSpS). In 1957, a Maternity Ward was added and in 1958 the first doctor was employed. In 1960, it was registered as a Mission Hospital after the addition of more wards and an operating theatre. The current Out-Patient Department was built in 1965. The Emergency ward was opened in 1983 for overnight detention and observation of patients and for the management of emergency cases. Holy Family Hospital, Nkawkaw is a Municipal Hospital (Level C) and refers patients mainly to the Eastern Regional Hospital, St. Joseph's Orthopaedic Hospital in Koforidua and the Teaching hospitals - Komfo Anokye in Kumasi and Korle-Bu in Accra. In 1974, the SSpS set up the Holy Family Nurses' Training College (HFNTC) to train Enrolled Nurses (ENs) to aid work in the hospital. This programme was discontinued by the government in 1984 to give way to the State Registered Nurses (SRN) Training Programme. The first year's intake of SRNs graduated from the Nurses' Training College (NTC) in 1987. Since its establishment, the students of the HFNTC undertake their clinical training in the hospital.
