Furthermore, total active and retired staff population had increased to over 3,000, with a dependent population of about 10,000, which was projected to exceed 15,000 in the coming years." He continued, “To address this problem, Management of the Bank in 2012, mandated the then General Services Department and the Medical Department to develop a Needs Assessment to form the basis for the development of a hospital for the Bank. The hospital which is located at East Cantonments will serve as a commercial entity operating as a general hospital, to provide world-class OPD services, diagnostic services, and medical urology.
