Good Heart Specialist Hospital (also known as Good Heart Hospital or abbreviated GHSH) is a private healthcare facility in Rivers State, Nigeria. The hospital's owner is said to be a consultant cardiologist at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.[1]
Location
Good Heart Specialist Hospital is situated on Evo Road, in the phase 2 of New GRA, about 1.3 km (0.8 mi) from D-line, Port Harcourt. The coordinates of the road on which the hospital building is sited are: 4°49'10.8"N, 7°0'3.5"E (Latitude:4.819675; Longitude:7.000985).[2]
Shut down
The hospital was temporarily closed in August 2014 after it was confirmed that one of its patients, a doctor named Ikechukwu Enemuo, had died from Ebola. Reports also revealed that Enemuo had contracted the virus while attending to an Ebola-infected ECOWAS staff who flew into Port Harcourt from Lagos for treatment in an unnamed hotel. The diplomat, however, recovered after being treated.[3]
