St. Raphael’s hospital and maternity has been in existence and well-functioning since August 19, 1973. The structural developments were mainly sustained by Akpo community developmental spirit where the age grades and some other groups cited their projects within the hospital. Mgbenabia Age Grade built a large Nurses’ quarters, Ifeadigo Age Grade built the power house and donated a generator. While, Obinwanne Age Grade built a gigantic four flat doctor’s quarters.  The hospital is currently under the ownership and management of Catholic Diocese of Ekwulobia.

St. Raphael’s is a 50-bed hospital that is conveniently located in the heart of the Akpo community with easy accessibilty. The hospital serves the community and its environs with future plan of developing into a regional referral center. We currently have functional hospital departments that include:  Accident and Emergency, Obstetrics, Paediatrics, and General Surgery. Ancillary services including radiology, dietetics, general laboratory and physical therapy are available.

The Hospital is accredited for the Anambra State Health Insurance scheme run by Anambra State Health Insurance Agency (ASHIA).  Our hospital structures and ambience provide a positive patient experience, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, private patient rooms, and amenities. 

We are ready and willing to collaborate with other healthcare organizations and agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated care. This hospital is ready to integrate technology such as electronic medical records for easy documentation and evaluation.
