  Good one there at least I have seen a sensible person who can reason and think, first and foremost, what is education at all? In a country where I come from, they defined education as anyone who can read and write English language that is how they defined education in Ghana. A country where a lot of people look down upon those who can't speak and write English language do you think such country can develop no wonder Ghana is a country with good resources but the citizens are mentally weak unable to think and reason as well, they are still slaves to the so-called Europeans. They are still colonized mentally and physically but the reason is that they don't know that they are still under colonization. So in s nutshell that is how illiteracy is defined in Ghana. Then one may ask that how about the countries who are using their own language to study are they illiterates? a country like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Norway, China etc can we classify their education system as substandard because they are not using English language to teach in their institutions? Africans will always embraced everything from west and east without thinking deep and its side effect in the future and we hate our own things so tell me are we humans? We always lionize the oppressors and disowned ours and we called ourselves educational elites now listen to a proverb from Europeans to Africans “you can take a monkey from bush but you can't take bush from monkey" how are we going to interpret it? it's simple to Europeans, Africa is bush let's see how they describe Africa they use the word Sub-Saharan and the question is do we have sub-Europeans or sub-Asians or sub-Americans, etc look how they have cited Africa in a World map, Africa as a continent is always at the bottom of the World map, the question is why they didn't cite Europe, Asia, America and Australia at the bottom but only Africa think about it brothers and sisters, the proverb means an African a monkey can come to western or eastern country to study or do anything but because he/she is from Africa you can't take Africa mentality from him or her then the stereotype goes, they are less humans, they don't have food to eat, always fighting among themselves etc so why Africans shouldn't cling to their own and abandoned their stupid act but yet still Africans are upholding their language and their barbaric culture, 500 years we are still slaves so when are we going to emancipate ourselves as a people created by YHWH.
  The time has come for Africans to come together as one people and put their difference away and unit as people it has been a long time in slavery and colonization. The time has come for Ghanaians to put away their difference and unit to develop their nation it has been a long time in slavery and colonization.
  God of our fathers have mercy on us especially banana republic of Ghana. Ghana, Ghana a country with good resources I had wanted to gather my people under one canopy as hen gathered it chicks but my people have abandoned their wisdom through thinking and now following the way of westerners through their devilcracy which is called democracy so now my people cannot be able to manage their own affairs, my people do not appreciate things manufactured in their country, my people preach devilcracy and practice vices, my people preach patriotism but they are not patriotic, my people have lost their sense of judging and now we are in a doom state they can't differentiate good things from bad ones and now engulf with tribalism which has become a canker in the country through bogus so-called educational elites and stomachticians who called themselves as politicians to separate the people in other not to come together to fight against their evil planning. A voice calling from within shouting my people, my people come together to build your nation we were created in the same image not let this stomachticians separate you they are doing it for their own selfish gain so wise up, awake from your slumber, the day is far spent and the night is near so let's ignore all these tribalism stuffs and come together as one people because together we can build a better nation.
  The only way Africans can develop is to use their own language to study and do everything and stop patronizing anything from east or west, a small country like Ghana we can’t develop it why? Because we have pseudo intellectuals who always claims that they are the best but in reality they are at the bottom of the pit, our education system is not good, our education system does not allow us to think inside and out outside the box so for Ghana to develop it needs critical thinkers and nature incliners who can put things together other than that it will take millions of years we will still be where we are.

  Certainly, if we can let Cuban doctors who are not as well-trained and do not speak our language to work in Ghana, we can find ways of getting our own to work...DR KENNEDY ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS STATEMENT!!!!

  It appears up till now Ghanaians dont know our doctors are leading us astray. In Africa, we all believe health is only about doctors. During the forum, majority of the contributors were doctors and they all talked about quality health as the doctors understood it. This is what is bringing major failures in our health systems in Africa particularly Ghana. If you read what Dr. Arthur Kennedy was saying, he was not even enthused about the forum. In Europe and America, they have a comprehensive quality Assurance programs which involve all the professions in the hospital or health sectors.Here I believe all the doctors who participated did not have any knowledge about quality management let alone the latest information on TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT. Management is another area doctors just jump in though they dont have any idea which is crippling our health services. In Europe and America, doctors form less than 30%of the management. When non doctors are at the helm of affairs, resources are equally distributed. Take for example when you go to Korle BU, patients files are missing thus no proper records, the toilets dont flush,the lifts dont work, mosquitoes have a field day in the night, appointments are rampart. With all these, the doctors say they have knowledge to run our premier hospital? GOD SAVE US.

  This forum was well organized but it lack representation from Key parts of any health care system.

  Thank you, Dr. Kennedy!
  We are often too comfortable rehashing issues without giving thought to viable solutions. As a young doctoral Ghanaian health policy analyst and health services researcher in the US, I have spent time thinking wondering about some of these solutions and I would like to be a part of the solution, in my own small way. How do in touch with you to discuss further?

  Dr Kennedy seems to talk sense. He forgets the "I am God mentality" of doctors in Ghana. The health care facilities seem to belong to doctors. And they are selfish. When have doctors used their influence to advocate for good working conditions, salaries, etc on behalf of nurses, technicians and other stake holders in the health delivery group. Until doctors see the that the job is bigger than them, improvement will always be wishful thinking?

  Come to komfo anokye hospital and see things messing up, most ventilators @ the main theatre are not working and even the theatre bed are weak to the extent that last month a client a client undergoing surgery fell down with one of the theatre beds. Patints' relatives sleep in the cold weather overnight with no one giving any attention to them. Hmmmmm.......... If quality is to be assured then lets solve all these issues once and for all
