Dr George Amofah, a Private Health Consultant, has called on stakeholders in the health sector to pursue proven interventions that could prevent diseases as a better option to finding curative remedy for them.
“We must investigate and look for what is leading to an outbreak of a disease like cholera and find a holistic approach of addressing it to prevent it re-occurrence in a particular area or region,” Dr Amofah, a former Deputy Director General of Ghana Health Services, said.
Speaking at a health training workshop organised by the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR) and Curious Minds, a media-based youth organisation for selected journalists in Accra, Dr Amofah said the totality of health care provisions depended largely on many factors and not only the provision of health facilities and health care professionals.
“What needs to be done is to become champions of the fact that health does not only depend on hospitals and health professionals but it depends on the integrated actions of a number of multiplicity of factors...,” he said.
