The Member of Parliament (MP) for Garu Constituency, Dr Thomas Winsum Anaba, has called for a systematic approach in addressing the lapses facing the Ghanaian healthcare system.
He said requisite resourcing, specialists training, among others, must be prioritised to ensure health professionals are in the right position to provide the need for particular health conditions that patients seek outside the country.
Dr Anaba said that will help set a blueprint to curtail the rate at which public figures access healthcare in foreign countries, to help build the confidence of the populace in the system to encourage medical tourism. "Ensuring the local health facilities are well resourced, training specialist to take care of diseases that take people out of the country to manage them here will help build a robust health system in the country," he said.
Commenting on Ghana's health systems on Good Morning Ghana, he advised health officers to take their relaxation seriously, as they get involved with so many things that stress and affect their immune systems.
