About BMC

The Baptist Medical Centre in Nalerigu is a respected mission hospital located in the North East Region of Ghana. It was founded through the joint efforts and vision of the Ghana Baptist Convention (then Gold Coast Baptist Conference) and the International Mission Board SBC (then Foreign Mission Board) in 1958. In 2014, the IMB handed the hospital over to the Ghana Baptist Convention who now manage and maintain it.

Most recent yearly statistics are as follows: 80,000+ outpatient visits, 15,000+ inpatients, 1,500+ major operations, and 2,300+ minor procedures. Over 3000 babies are delivered at BMC annually.

Over those 60+ years, it is estimated that well over 3 million patients have visited the hospital and around 70 Baptist churches have been planted in northern Ghana.

We believe that our service earns hearing for the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ, and we are looking forward to the future as we continue to serve Christ by serving the people of West Africa.
