As long as you worship those demigods they will continue to do that. My advice to you the politicians and your foot soldiers is that don't politicize issues like this. Establish more medical schools and train more doctors. wh ...

Ghana must be handed over to technocrats to manage.
This is one of the people I so much respect in Ghana, yet he is very quiet! He is a fine doctor and respector of all! I like this son of the northern origine!
Why dont you people care about the Doctors' concerns? Where is the oil money? Citizens must feel it. If anyone cares about the people, they must care about those who care for the people.
We are our own enemies by greedness,nepotism and corruption into our DNA.
EVEN IN NORTH AMERICA, THE GOVT HAS MANY PRIVATE HOSPITALS. KORLE BU MUST BE PRIVATIZED. FIND A GH WHO KNOWS WAT TO DO AND IS SERIOUS ABOUT HEALTH AND GIVE THEM A MAJORITY STAKE IN THE HOSPITAL. GH GOVT IS TOO STUPID TO MANAG ...

You're right; "Ghana-trained physicians" are gods. More medicals schools and less politics in the health sector will help.
You are definitely an idiot and you are talking as if Doctors are like kayayeis and toilet carriers who can be recruited from the streets.
THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO BE PRIVATIZED. IF YOU TRAIN DOCTORS THEY WILL LEAVE THE COUNTRY FOR GREENER PASTURES, UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY THEM WHAT THEY ARE REALLY WORTH, WHICH I THINK IS MUCH MORE THAN THOSE CORRUPT POL ...

Korle Bu and other hospitals need well qualified, experienced administrators to handle the hospitals. Medical doctors are not trained admins so won't fare well in the position. I totally concur with this guy, hopefully some ...

AS DIRECTOR GENERAL WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE SECTOR, TELL US
Are managers allowed to manage in Ghana? Here, everything is politics, politicians take over everything.
This is politics as usual. Dr. Sory is talking nonsense. Govt to teach healthcare workers what?
Please leave recruiting to the Human Resources experts.
What did Sory do when he was director general to tackle this?
This country is in the ruins! Nothing works - No water, no electricity, poor sanitation, exceedingly high rate of unemployment, etc.- A country that can not provide the very basic necessities of life to its citizens and you c ...

Mahama is not a good administrator. He is a criminal and what a criminal knows best is stealing. he doesn't have the skills to attract investors to the country.
We shouldn't expect Mahama to do any good to the country.
KORLE BU NEEDS A SKILLED PERSON AND NOT A CAR DEALER
GHANA IS SINKING VERY FAST

What is going on at Korle-Bu is Yileh-Chireh's legacy to the nation. Why appoint somebody who has no clue about Health to be a sector minister. It is like appointing a shoemaker as Minister for Finance.
IF THIS IS ALL A FORMER D-G OF GHANA HEALTH SERVICE HAS TO SAY, THEN INDEED GHANA HAS A LONG WAY TO GO. WHAT DID HE REALLY DO? THE ARROGANCE OF DOCTORS IN GHANA WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A NON DOCTOR TO RUN KORLE BU. DR SO ...

True facts but what reforms did you yourself put in place for this sector. All hospitals are now completely run down and about 70% of the young doctors are sons and daughters of older ones.
How safe is our health in GHANA? E ...

Dear Folks,
As a health professional and most importantly a former DG of the Ghana Health Services, Dr. Sory is right in saying what he has said. However, the HEALTH of the people (entire populace) of Ghana is not the prerog ...

Break the monopoly of the doctors by training more doctors. Our GMA is created a dangerous closed shop run by very callous people who only care about money. Go to Tumu and see, the doctor has his private clinic and is hardly ...
