Peter Paul Yelezuome Angkyier has called on Catholic health workers not to lose sight of the fundamental needs of ordinary patients who visit their facilities seeking healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Angkyier maintained that while health workers focused on maintaining modern healthcare standards, their facilities should become places of hope for those who are sick and in pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outpatient departments should feel like welcoming homes where visitors are greeted with smiles and warmth, emergency rooms, and vital signs area should offer a gentle touch and radiating companion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsulting rooms should be spaces of reassurance and clear communication, and wards should provide peace and rest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Episcopal Chairman made the call at the 19th National Conference of the Catholic Health Service Trust in Ho, the Volta Regional Capital.<\/p>\n<p>Themed, \u201cPositioning the Catholic Health Service Trust in an Advancing Technological Era II,\u201d the conference was attended by over 200 healthcare professionals from the various Catholic health facilities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Angkyier further called for inclusion of faith-based institutions in Ghana Health Service\u2019s (GHS) network of practice policy as the institutions serve as integral components of local healthcare delivery systems, where many facilities serve as district hospitals across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout proper inclusion of faith-based institutions, the policies are unlikely to achieve its full potential, especially due to the crucial link to patient referrals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>National Director of the Catholic Health Service Trust, George A.
