The health facility is located within The Octagon on the Barnes road.

The state-of-the-art medical center offers advanced features for faster diagnostic telemedicine support for remote specialist input, and real-time access to patient records.

The hospital, which is focused on empowering patients to take control of their health operates on weekdays only.

The Managing Director of Nyaho Medical Centre, Elikem Christian Tamaklo, told citifmonline.com that the hospital was positioning itself to take advantage of modern technology to improve healthcare delivery in the country.

“We are ensuring that we can actually build bridges between the X-ray machines, CT machine and computers, and hopefully in the time, access to mobile devices. With technology, you can actually do it very quickly and we hope that patients will have a good experience here,” he said.

He further hinted that, the hospital would acquire an ambulance at the centre to ensure the transportation of patients to the closest health center for optimum care when his outfit becomes overwhelmed with patient emergencies.

He also said that Nyaho is looking forward to being the leader in the delivery of quality health services, to serve as a shining example to other health facilities in the country.

Nyaho is also introducing telemedicine, which helps doctors to communicate remotely with each other, which involves images and video networking.

All such data will be protected by the National Communications Authority (NCA), according to the facility’s Managing Director.

Speaking at a medical symposium organized by the Centre, under the auspices of its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, the Nyaho Dove Foundation, he said understanding patients’ needs is fundamental to providing creative solutions and the level of quality care patients expect.

“We need to seek to understand exactly what the problems are, to address them squarely. It’s not enough to be just creative – medical facilities have to be reliable and continually review processes to improve on service delivery,” he noted.

Dr. Tamaklo reiterated that “with the right technology and innovation in place, society will identify medical facilities who are doing the right thing and catch up with non-professionals” to improve on the quality of healthcare.

The medical symposium was in honour of the Founder of the hospital, Dr. Kwami Nyaho Tamaklo.

The event which was aimed at promoting quality health outcomes for patients and positively influencing policies in Ghana’s private and public sector healthcare delivery systems, was under the theme, “Improving the Quality of Healthcare in Ghana.”

It featured key stakeholders including Dr. Albert Akpalu (Consultant Neurosurgeon, KBTH) Dr. Lydia Dsane-Selby (Head of Claims, National Health Insurance Authority) Dr. Eli Atikpui (Registrar, Medical & Dental Council, Ghana) Dr. Ken Sagoe (Head, Faculty of Public Health, Ghana College of Physicians & Surgeons) Dr. Gloria Quansah Asare (Ag. Dir. Gen. – Ghana Health Service), a visiting Team from The Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospitals, NHS Trust, UK and Dr. Elikem Tamaklo, Managing Director, Nyaho Medical Centre and Host of the event.

The Symposium also attracted a representation from Government, Civil Service Organisations and Private Sector Healthcare Institutions including the Ministry of Health, Ghana Mental Health Authority, The National Health Insurance Authority, Ghana College of Physicians & Surgeons, Accra College of Medicine, The Trust Hospital, 37 Military Hospital, University of Ghana, Ghana Health Service, mPharma and East Cantonments Pharmacy Ltd – a sponsor of the event.

The Polish club had won the tie 6-1 on aggregate after a 2-nil win in Scotland, but were subsequently handed a 3-nil loss, after it was revealed that one of their substitutes had been suspended for the game.
