A section of the hospital in disrepair, as captured by GhanaWeb TV
Once a beacon of accessible healthcare for traders in Accra’s bustling Makola Market, the Makola Clinic now lies in a state of disrepair, raising concern among market women and residents who rely on its services.
Established decades ago by the late former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the clinic was designed to provide essential medical care to the thousands of traders and shoppers passing through the market daily.
However, a recent visit by GhanaWeb TV to the facility reveals a stark contrast to its original purpose.

The clinic’s infrastructure is visibly deteriorating, broken windows, cracked walls, and outdated equipment paint a grim picture. Inside, patients wait in cramped, poorly ventilated spaces, while staff struggle to deliver care with limited resources.
“For over 30 years that I’ve been in this market, no renovation has been done. All the infrastructure is in shambles. We struggle to access basic healthcare,” one market woman told GhanaWeb TV.
