The Vice President of the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana (PHFAoG) Mr Boakye Donkor, has stressed the need for more collaboration between the private sector healthcare providers and the government to promote quality healthcare delivery in the country.
Mr Donkor said the PHFAoG was the second biggest health providers with 1,310 members in the country, next to the Ghana Health Service (GHS), and the leadership was in close consultation with the government to find solution to the employment of the 68,000 unemployed nurses in the country.
He was speaking at an annual general meeting of Volta and the Oti Region branch of the Association at Sokode-Lokoe near Ho, where the third national conference of the Association was launched on the theme: ''Unlocking Opportunities- Leveraging Government Private Sector Development Policy to Boost Ghana's Private Health Sector'', which would be celebrated in the Volta Region in October this year.
According to Mr Donkor, it was important for management of the facilities to collaborate effectively to promote quality health delivery, saying no individual facility could work in isolation and expected to be successful.
