The Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital is currently undergoing assessment by the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons (GCPS) to be accredited to begin fellowship programmes for doctors.
In line with this management of the facility has been engaging with the leadership of the college to institute the necessary arrangements for the commencement of the initiative.
On Monday 20th November 2023, some heads of faculty at the GCPS led by the Rector Professor Richard Adanu visited the facility to continue with activities towards realizing the initiative.
When the initiative successfully comes on stream, fellowship trainees for the general specialty areas will have opportunity to train whilst providing healthcare in their parent hospitals as part of their training.
The Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital has been given a green light to soon begin fellowship training in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
In an address to some faculty heads and specialist doctors at the Hospital conference center, the Medical Director of ENRH, Dr Joseph Kojo Tambil explained that the initiative is in line with the redevelopment of the Hospital to become a modern tertiary facility.
The Rector of the GCPS, Professor Richard Adanu indicated that the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital is endowed with the needed facilities for the initiative and encouraged management of ENRH to adopt a few recommendations for the full accreditation by the GCPS for commencement of the programme next year.
