ABOUT ST. FRANCIS XAVIER CATHOLIC HOSPTAL
St. Francis Xavier Catholic Hospital as it is currently known started as a small community clinic by the Assin District Council in the early 1950s and managed by the Council as well. The establishment of the clinic was highly motivated by the trio, namely; Afotuakwa, Atendansu and Apemanim Traditional Councils. The trio therefore as a matter of principle became the trustees or better still board of directors of the clinic.
In their quest to embrace modern health care delivery coupled with the deepest confidence they had in the Catholic Health Delivery Systems, the trio extended an invitation to the late Most Rev. John Kwadwo Amissah, the then Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of the Metropolitan Province of Cape Coast and Sekondi/Takoradi Dioceses. The Archbishop gracefully accepted the invitation to treat and took over the administration of the clinic, placed it under the control of Our Lady of the Apostles (OLA) Sisters to run the facility. The administration of the OLA Sisters did not last for long, due to capacity dryness.
