St. Joseph Hospital Jirapa was started in the convent of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary Congregation (FMM) in 1949 as a wound dressing centre for the people of Jirapa and its surrounding communities. In 1953, the then Catholic Mission of Tamale adopted and converted the wound dressing centre into a hospital to provide basic services in General Medicine, Deliveries, Surgery and Paediatrics; with the sole aim of extending the healing ministry of Christ to the poor and marginalized. Aside the clinical service, the Hospital was also mandated to train pupil nurses and midwives to the required standards of the regulatory bodies (Ministry of Health). It was also moved to its present site and managed solely and purely as a mission institution by the Church.
Their critical staffs were mainly expatriates. In 1956, the Mission entered into an Agency Agreement with the government of the then Gold Coast, now Ghana, where the government was required to provide such infrastructure, as may be required, and the emoluments of the requisite staff engaged and employed by the Mission. The Agency Agreement in its original form has remained till date, but its operations have substantially changed over the period.
