organizations. Over the years, the MOH has expanded the capacity of health training institutions across the countries leading to an increased intake in various categories of health professionals. Despite the immense progress made the numbers of some professional categories remained low. In 2009, neglected programmes such as health assistants, speech therapy, audio-therapy, physiotherapy, prosthesis and orthotics will be given renewed emphasis to bring their numbers to the level where they can contribute meaningfully to the collective effort of the sector. In this regard, efforts will be made to improve the management of training institutions and the existing relations between them and service providers. The policy thrust is to improve management of the training institutions and make them responsive to the needs of the sector. Priority Activities • Rationalize recruitment into the training institutions in collaboration with the MOH and other stakeholders. • Secure scholarships for qualified personnel to undertake courses in the neglected areas Expected Results • Recruitments into training institutions streamlined • Scholarship for courses in neglected areas secured Collaborators Ministry of Health, Scholarship Secretariat, Private health training Institutions, Nurses and Midwives Council, Teaching hospitals, Ghana Health Service, Christian Health Association of Ghana, Other Quasi Government Hospitals and the Private Sector. 6.5.3. GHANA COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS The Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons is mandated to train specialists in medicine, surgery and allied specialties to meet the needs of the country. In 2008, the College was able to organize residency training in the form of lectures, tutorials, clinical demonstration, district rotations, continuous medical education and update of programmes. Examinations were conducted and over 50% of the candidates passed, showing significant improvement over the previous year. Staffing situation was also improved with the appointment of three more staff – College Secretary, Facilities Manager and Storekeeper. The College also generated funds internally by offering its facilities to the general public for conferences, seminars, etc. Collaborative links were established with medical colleges in areas of common interest. 40
The college continued to face problems such as inadequate physical facilities, poor revenue mobilisation and poor financial management practices remain. The managerial capacities of administrative staff still remains a challenge also need upgrading to bring the performance of the college to acceptable standards. Also, the college is finding it difficult to accredit adequate health facilities to support the training of its students because most facilities are less endowed with the requisite resources. Finally, trends in enrolment depict a reduction of about 30% due to lack of sponsorship. The College hopes to overcome its challenges which were mainly financial, material and human resources and also improve its performance in 2009 The thrust of the College is to expand the continuous professional development programmes, improve training outcomes and build general capacities to enable College operate more efficiently. Priority Activities • Promote specialist education (residency training, CPDs and District Rotations) • Facilitate research and publication in medicine, surgery and related disciplines • Strengthen financial management systems, administration and auditing • Promote collaborative links with local and foreign bodies Expected Results • Specialist Education programme implemented (100 candidates admitted for residency training , 2 CPD and 6 months’ district rotation organized for 2 nd year trainees, 40 lectures , 40 tutorials and 40 clinical demonstration per year per each training department organized) • 1 clinico-pathological conference/seminar per month in each discipline at each training department to be held • Research outcomes published within 3 months • College newsletter published twice a year • Medical journal published once a year • Professional competencies of administrative, accounting and auditing staff improved through in-service training and short courses Collaborators Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, Medical and Dental Council, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Regional and District Hospitals, West African College of Physicians, West African College of Surgeons, Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, South African Medical Colleges, Royal College of England, 41
