Family Health Group – a collaboration between Premier Private Medical School, Family Health Hospital and Family Health Nursing School, and Apollo Hospital, India – and Airtel Ghana have introduced Telemedicine to provide ‘clinical healthcare at a distance.’<\/p>\n
With the introduction of Telemedicine at Family Health Medical School, sick patients who have to travel outside Ghana to seek for medical care are eliminated. All they need to do is to book with Family Health Hospital by calling 0307086160 for a live medical consultation with world class Doctors in India and USA.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The Telemedicine innovation at Family Health Medical School among other things would enhance knowledge for their medical students, cut cost and hours of waiting for patients and open avenues to train their maintenance unit.<\/p>\n Speaking as a Special Guest of Honour during the launch of the Telemedicine facility, the Minister for Education, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman commended the President of Family Health Medical School, Prof. Yao Kwawukume and the entire management team for introducing such a bold innovation to aid patients and medical students in Ghana.<\/p>\n She revealed that education has everything to do with medicine and urged Family Health Group to use the telemedicine to share knowledge and heal more people for the country to get a healthy population.<\/p>\n
