Ghana’s health sector has been identified as one with the weakest level of accountability, according to a Deputy Health Minister, Kingsley Aboagye Gyedu.
Speaking at the launch of the Ghana Association of Doctors in Residency (GADOR) in Kumasi, Mr. Gyedu stated that “health professionals do not want to be accountable”, thereby contributing to the rot in the system.
“If free senior high school education is possible then there is no reason why free residency cannot be possible. Of course it is possible but anything possible is not necessarily probable”.
“I tell you with all due respect and in all humility, the health sector is probably the sector with the weakest level of accountability and I hope my words will not be misconstrued”.
“There is a lot of rot generally and I say this with all the passion it deserves. The health sector professionals don’t want to be accountable and in this world you can never eat your cake and have it,” he pointed out.
