Strategically located, the hospital delivers specialised healthcare services to residents of the Volta Region and neighbouring areas. From its inception, it has envisioned becoming a medical tourism centre through the delivery of innovative healthcare.

The hospital serves clients from the Republic of Togo, Benin, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. With its upgraded status, Ho Teaching Hospital is well positioned to function as a leading medical tourism hub, offering innovative tertiary healthcare, medical education, and research.
