    New Crystal Healthcare Services (hereinafter referred to as “NCHS” or “the company”) is a registered hospital in Ghana. The group of hospitals was established in 2003. The company now operates 6 health services facilities; namely Ashaiman, Tema, Michel Camp, Afenyo Memorial, Adjei Kojo and Takoradi. The health facilities provide general clinical care, antenatal, obstetrics, gynaecology, dentistry, laboratory, x-ray, pharmaceutical and basic in-patient services. The subsidiaries include a specialist/ referral hospital, a standalone laboratory, diagnostic and imaging centre, a centralized medical supplies unit and a medical training school. Other centralized services sourced out to the group’s subsidiary business units include laundry and housekeeping.  NCHS focusses on the middle to lower income population. The company plans to upgrade their healthcare infrastructure in the Greater Accra region (excluding Takoradi) to improve the healthcare service quality, offer more services, and to attract more patients to the facilities. The total project cost is estimated to be US$5.8m.  IFC proposes a C-Loan investment of up to US$2.5m in NCHS to support the Project. The proposed investment will be used for renovation and expansion of the company’s hospitals to improve existing infrastructure, construct new clinical space, purchase necessary equipment, hire and train medical staff, and implement higher quality standards.
