Private
health facilities across the Volta region are bracing up to contain the excess
number of patients who will troop to the facilities for medical care due to the
ongoing strike by doctors in the government hospitals.
The strike
declared by the Ghana Medical Association last week, is set to take a deep bite
on patients who will turnout at the various government health facilities, as
the doctors in region withdrawn out patients services.
This,
situation is therefore expected to put pressure on both private and faith-based
facilities, as patients throng these facilities for treatment.
Managers
of such facilities have, however expressed their readiness to carter for the
anticipated high turnouts in the coming days, when Volta Online toured some of
the facilities within the Ho municipality.
Elorm
Ocloo-Dzaba of Foresight Medical centre
and Mawuena Letsa of Miracle Life
Hospital, both told Volta Online in separate interviews
that their outfits are prepared for any eventualities.
"We
are ready for any event, whatever the case… our staff are on standby to attend
to both NHIS and non NHIS clients,” they assured.
