"With this first contract in Ghana, Bouygues Construction is
confirming its ambitions in Sub-Saharan Africa, with projects and
infrastructures aimed at enhancing the quality of life for local
populations", said Olivier-Marie Racine, deputy managing director of
Bouygues Construction.
The contract has been signed by Americaribe, an American subsidiary
of Bouygues Construction. It involves provide for a future turnkey
regional healthcare hub, including a new 420-bed building, several
operating theatres and a maternity unit. The extended hospital will have
the potential to become one of the most advanced medical facilities in
West Africa, giving better access to healthcare for Ghanaians, said
Bouygues. For several years now, the ever-increasing number of
consultations has been overstretching Ridge Hospital’s capacity and in
particular its maternity unit, which could no longer accommodate all
patients.
The new hospital will be delivered in 2017 after three years of
construction, which will mobilize 600 staff at peak period. The project
will be following sustainable construction lines and aiming at LEED
Healthcare certification, the first in the region, with electricity
supply provided by solar energy.
