Dansoman Polyclinic Now Operates Round-the-Clock Under 24-Hour Economy Initiative

The Dansoman Polyclinic in Ghana has commenced 24-hour operations after previously closing its doors to patients at 10:00 PM, marking a change in service delivery under the government’s 24-hour economy initiative.

According to a report by GHOne TV on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the development was announced by Awo Kekeli, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Team, who described the extended operating hours as a step towards implementing the government’s policy.

With the new arrangement, residents of Dansoman and nearby communities can now access healthcare services throughout the day and night. Previously, individuals requiring medical attention after 10:00 PM often had to seek assistance from other health facilities, resulting in additional transportation expenses and inconvenience.

The government’s 24-hour economy programme seeks to encourage continuous business activities across important sectors, including healthcare, transportation, manufacturing and trade. The policy is intended to increase productivity, expand employment opportunities and support economic development.

Ms. Kekeli explained that extending the polyclinic’s operating hours demonstrates efforts to translate the initiative into practical benefits for ordinary citizens. She particularly highlighted its importance to night-shift workers, commercial drivers, traders and residents who may require medical attention outside conventional working hours.

The development could also improve access to basic healthcare and help reduce the pressure on larger hospitals by allowing the polyclinic to attend to patients who would otherwise seek treatment at major medical facilities.

However, maintaining round-the-clock healthcare services will require adequate medical personnel, essential medicines, functional equipment and consistent government funding.

The Dansoman Polyclinic’s transition to 24-hour operations is expected to draw attention as the government continues efforts to extend the 24-hour economy initiative to other sectors and communities across Ghana.
