Ghanaian doctors abroad urged to return home

Ho (Volta Region), 20th July 99 ?

Dr Frank Nyonator, Volta Regional Director of Health Services, on Monday appealed to Ghanaian doctors resident in the United States to come home during their leave to assist their colleagues.

He was speaking at a ceremony at which the Ewe community in Dallas Texas, U.S., presented four wheel chairs valued at 1,500 dollars to the Ho Government Hospital.

Dr Nyonator told Mr Lawrence Yao Dagadu, president of the community who handed over the chairs, that, with the construction of a modern hospital for the region, specialists are needed to man it.

Dr Nyonator expressed his profound appreciation to the community for the gesture and assured the members that they would be put to judicious use.

Mr Dagadu said the gifts were the beginning of their participation in the health delivery service in the region.

He assured Dr Nyonator that they will continue to mobilise the members to assist the hospital with other equipment to enhance its effective operation.
