Nova Surgery Center (NSC) is the Premier address for minimally invasive surgery in Ghana. Minimally Invasive Surgery refers to any surgical procedure that is performed through tiny incisions instead of a large opening.

Making smaller incisions offers our patients a quicker
recovery time and less pain than traditional open surgery but with the same benefits as traditional surgery. At NSC, we truly believe that when it comes to SURGERY, LESS is MORE. This simply means that with less incisions we are able to, with the help of sophisticated technology, provide
benefits which include:

• Lower adhesion risk
• Shorter hospital stay
• Shorter recovery after surgery
• Reduced post-op pain levels
• Reduced post-op fever
• Decreased blood loss during surgery and the need for blood transfusion
• Lower risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots)

Surgery is an essential part of medical care and is very often the last resort for DIAGNOSING, PREVENTING or TREATING a patient to prevent disability and even death. There are 3 main factors driving the increased demand for surgery in Ghana:

1. As Ghana goes through economic development, life expectancy is increasing. As more people live to older age, we will see more chronic non-communicable diseases that require surgical treatment. For example, Cardiovascular diseases, Cancer and Degenerative Joint Diseases require surgical treatment.
2. Modernization is powered by machinery. Increased automation is producing more traumatic injuries and accidents. Most of these accidents lead to disability, fractures and even death if surgery is not performed.
3. It is estimated that approximately half a million women die in middle-to-low income nations during childbirth due to scarce availability of surgical services. As our citizens prosper and adopt Western Diet, the need for Cesarean delivery is increasing. The ability to provide surgical services in Ghana has not kept pace with the increasing demand. The morbidity and mortality associated with TRADITIONAL methods and unsavory environment for surgical care delivery have stoked fear of Surgery among Ghanaians. A study done in the country showed that mortality from preventable and treatable surgical conditions alone, accounted for 10.9% of all disability. We have amassed the requisite resources to provide Ghanaians with access to a unique surgical experience. We aim to enhance the well-being of the patients we serve by providing advanced, high-tech surgical solutions and recovery care in convenient, compassionate surgical environment.Our operating rooms are enlarged to accommodate minimally invasive technologies. When you choose NSC for your surgery, you can expect:
