The vice president of the Regent University College of Science and Technology, Rev. Prof. Andrews Seth Ayettey, has called for a home-grown educational policy to train more medical practioners.
He explained that this will help build the needed human resource capacity for sustainable health delivery in Ghana.
According to him, this would help promote medical research for progressive advancement in medical services.
Prof. Andrews Seth Ayettey added that it would enable Ghana succeed in building a robust local medical educational system, and a policy to implement the concept.
“This is how Ghana would develop to become an equal player and partner in global health issues. This is also how Ghana would be free to prosecute its own medical education agenda to address national health needs and challenges without relying on other nations for solutions,” he said.
He was delivering a lecture delivered as part of the 10th anniversary program of Regent University College of Science and Technology on the topic, the missing link in Ghana’s medical education: from Guggisberg to present, September 30th, 2016.
