The Sunyani Teaching Hospital, previously known as Sunyani Regional Hospital, is the last of the series of ultra-modern hospitals established by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the late 1990s. It was constructed by International Hospital Group (IHG) of the UK and handed over to the Government of Ghana in 2003. It was officially commissioned by Former President John Evans Atta Mills in November 2009. The hospital had been operating as a secondary level facility since 4th August 2003 under the leadership of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) until its conversion into a Teaching Hospital. The hospital covers an area of 315.7 acres. Currently, the hospital has 350 beds and is strategically located to provide advanced health services to the people of the Bono, Ahafo, Bono East regions, and beyond, including clients from Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso.
Approval for the conversion of the then Sunyani Regional Hospital to Sunyani Teaching Hospital was granted at the 45th Cabinet meeting held on 4th February 2023. At a stakeholders' meeting held on 4th July 2023, at the RCC, Sunyani, the Minister for Health, Hon. Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, formally announced that Cabinet had approved a Memorandum of Understanding for the conversion of the Bono Regional Hospital into a Teaching Hospital. Consequently, a Medical School would be established at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR). A transitional team was subsequently commissioned to strategically plan and ensure the smooth establishment of the Medical School and the Teaching Hospital. The Official Launch of the Teaching Hospital was held on 18th November 2023 by the Minister for Health, Hon. Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, at a grand durbar at the hospital premises.
