The Greater Accra Regional Hospital, in collaboration with world renowned surgeon, Dr Diego Gonzalez Rivas, has performed its first-ever minimally invasive surgery outside a hospital setting in Ghana. The surgery was performed in a mobile van, marking a new era in surgical care delivery. Thanks to this ground-breaking innovation, patients who would have faced surgery costs between €15,000 and €20,000 have received their surgery at no cost. The Director of Clinical Services at the Ghana Health Service, Dr Lawrence Ofori Boadu, expressed his excitement: "we have had some mobile clinics, but this special mobile clinic comes with a different ideology. It's for most of the time the thoracic surgeries and we have never had a mobile clinic of such sort.
