Ghanaians have been called upon, not to wait until
they fall sick before they seek medical attention.
They should also make sure that they live well in order to increase productivity for the development.
Mr Akwasi Gyima-Bota, Director of the VEBS Medical Centre made the call at the opening of the Centre at Batsonaa, near Tema on Tuesday.The Centre has Laboratory Department, Theatre, Out-Patient Department and Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department.
Mr Gyima-Bota said the aim of opening the Centre at Batsonaa was to offer a quality healthcare to the community which was springing up.
He said as a new community with a number of uncompleted buildings and bad drainage systems in the area, it was found prudent to open the Centre and offer healthcare to people who would suffer from diseases.
Mr Gyima-Bota said the Centre would also offer relief to workers who would have travelled long distances to seek medical attention.
He said the Centre would soon put in place structures to reduce paper
work by introducing code numbers for all workers of the hospital so that information on patients would be made known to them only.
