Hospital de Esperanza

Hospital of Hope is located in the northern region of Togo. Opening in March 2015, the hospital is a 66-bed major medical, surgical, and acute care facility and regional trauma center. The bulk of the patients are Togolese, but many come from neighboring countries as well. The staff is composed of missionary physicians and other volunteers as well as Togolese physician assistants, nurses, and support staff. Our Togolese staff is made up of a mix of Christians and non-Christians. Annually, we provide care to over 2,500 medical inpatients and have approximately 1,000 surgical cases. The hospital outpatient clinic is open four days per week, and averages 100–150 patients (depending on number of providers available) per day. The outpatient clinic contains several exam rooms and a treatment room. The hospital also holds immunization and prenatal clinics. In all of our services offered, our main goal is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we provide compassionate healthcare in His name.

The hospital’s official address is in the town of Mango and consists of a 66-acre, walled complex. There are various ministry opportunities for service available including medical, community health, sports, and building maintenance.

Hospital of Hope has a strong chaplaincy program that we consider the cornerstone of what we do. Our chaplaincy staff includes both missionaries and Togolese believers. All volunteers are encouraged to witness to patients; however, in this Muslim context, we ask that counsel be sought before evangelizing in order to understand our strategy and cultural perceptions.

In addition to intensive care (very basic), the hospital contains pediatrics, obstetrics, surgical, and medical units. There is also a minor surgery/treatment room, surgical recovery/triage area, and a laboratory/X-ray. Our outpatient clinic opens most weekdays by 7:30 a.m. for medical triage.
