At the main auditorium of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, over two hundred doctors have undergone a special medical training to upgrade skills in their respective medical fields.
Among them is the Board Chairman of the National Health Insurance Authority, Dr Ernest Kwarko, Specialist Obstetrician Gynaecologist, now a fellow of the College.
Just like his colleagues, commitment to serving the country's health sector is embedded in patriotism. 50% of Ghanaian doctors are said to have left the country to seek better conditions abroad, according to the Ghana Human Development Report.
One of the reasons for the exodus is inadequate training for doctors.
