The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi would from next year send some of its doctors and other para-medical staff to China for post-graduate training under a special exchange programme.
\nA memorandum of understanding would be signed early next year to facilitate the visit of the Chinese team to the hospital to explore areas of possible cooperation.
\nProfessor Ohene Adjei, the Chief Executive, told the media during an end of year interaction in Kumasi that three universities in China including the Wenzhoa Medical College had been selected for fees-free programme.
\nHe said China had evolved not only in orthodox medical practice but other areas in alternate medicine and technology and it is about time Ghana learned from its scientific and medical breakthrough.
\nGiving a broad over view of the hospital\u2019s achievements so far and its vision for next year, he said the hospital would start renovation works on its old buildings to address all structural defects.
\nA team from South Africa would arrive to carry out inspection of the \u201dBlock A\u201d- the Maternity and the Children\u2019s blocks, to assess the cost after which, they would raise money to start the project.
\nHe conceded that there would be challenges and this had to do with where to relocate patients on admission in those blocks.
\nProf Ohene Adjei said due to the hospital\u2019s huge expansion programme, it has now been faced with another challenge, that of space, a situation which could force it to build some of the facilities outside – in a satellite location.
\nThe Chief Executive\u2019s bungalow is now being refurbished to serve as a guest house. Additionally, one block of nurse\u2019s quarters would be completed next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
