‘I have a screen in my office’ – Akandoh on real-time emergency bed tracking

“So this system will not necessarily add more beds, but it will help us to manage the scarce resources, so that one patient will not be on one bed at emergency for more hours or another.”What this is doing is giving us visibility, and so I have a screen in my office, so that if Kolebu says there’s no bed, I’m able to see how many beds are available, how many patients are in the emergency.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Wednesday, Mr Akandoh disclosed that a command centre has been established at the Ridge Hospital to monitor the availability of emergency beds.
