The district hosts a mix of healthcare institutions, including hospitals, polyclinics, clinics, health centres, CHPS compounds, and maternity homes. At the heart of the district’s healthcare system is the Ankaase Methodist Faith Healing Hospital, which serves as the district hospital and located at Ankaase.

Residents of Kodie, the district capital, can access the facility within approximately 30 minutes, ensuring timely access to essential medical services.

Healthcare delivery in the district is further strengthened by the proximity of major facilities in neighbouring areas. These include St. Patrick’s Hospital in Offinso, located just 7 kilometres from the district capital, and the renowned Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, about 16 kilometres away.

Accessibility to these facilities is supported by a relatively good road network, making referrals and emergency healthcare services more efficient.

With both local and nearby healthcare institutions supporting service delivery, Afigya-Kwabre South continues to improve access to quality healthcare for its growing population.
