The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has lost 525 of its skilled personnel and professionals to brain drain within the last 12 months
The Director-General said a total of 33,625 new staff including nurses had been recruited by the service to boost the capacity of the GHS to deliver on its mandate.
He said in pursuit of the attainment of universal healthcare by 2030, the service had developed a strategy to strengthen primary healthcare and deepen collaboration with its partners towards the redesigning of primary healthcare system in the country.
This, he said would lead to the improvement of quality and provide more patient-centred care in the country.
Dr Kumah Aboagye said the service had also improved on its supply chain system by making it visible in their buildings so that people see in real time where supplies were and where there were shortages to deal with.
He said the service had also managed to improve its E-health system by ensuring that the e-tracker which provided the service with real data and detailed data had also been introduced across the country.
