Treat Aid Ghana and Fortis Healthcare have unveiled the Fortis Information Centre in Accra, Ghana. The initiative aims to assist patients seeking specialized medical treatment abroad, primarily in India. The centre acts as a bridge between patients in Ghana, their local doctors, and medical specialists in India. Hilary Denise Arko-Dadzie, director of Treat Aid Ghana, explained that the centre will help patients navigate the complexities of seeking treatment abroad, offering access to specialists, exploring treatment options, and assisting with travel arrangements to India.
The centre was established to complement Ghana's healthcare system, not replace it. Professor Richard Adanu, rector of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, highlighted that while Ghana has made significant strides in healthcare, certain specialized services remain unavailable locally. He identified India as a viable destination due to its availability of specialized medical services and comparatively simpler immigration processes for Ghanaians.
Adanu emphasized the importance of equity and Universal Health Coverage, calling for collaboration with health financing agencies to alleviate the financial burden on patients seeking treatment abroad.
