Ganta United Methodist Hospital

We are humbled by our church’s mandate to provide Christ-centered, quality (but affordable) health care for a population of over 450,000. As a not-for-profit organization, Ganta Hospital cannot afford to solely rely on the local intake that are not regular. Further, the hospital’s “affordable” fee-for-service falls far below the costs of services provided. Even with the minimum charges, some of the struggling rural subsistence farming families cannot afford to pay the full amount. Therefore, the management is mostly left with no alternative but to waive those fees. This situation requires that the hospital to seek external supports to mitigate this gap in revenue generation. While also realizing management must be creative in identifying self-sustaining services in the hospital to minimize reliance on outside supports. We are therefore pleased to report that contributions (of funds, supplies, equipment, etc.) from our partners helped keep the hospital stable and fully operational.
