Wonderful, Ghanaian doctor perform heart suggery without opening the patient heart at Ghana second largest hospital located in kumasi .......


Ghanaian doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have for the first time performed a successful heart surgery without opening the heart.

The new procedure which according to the doctors takes between 30 to 35 minutes, is one of the safest procedures to adopt.

This according to the hospital management is the first time such a procedure has been used successfully by local doctors in Ghana.

Speaking on behalf of the hospital management after the successful operation, Head of Nursing at KATH, Georgina Afua Sam noted that the feat achieved has been made possible as a result of a collaboration between the hospital and a Chinese Hospital, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital.

According to her, doctors from the Chinese hospital usually visit KATH to help perform surgeries using this method but this time around, a team from Ghana alone performed the surgery using the method.


“In April this year, we signed an MOU with them in China for continued collaboration, capacity building and providing of facilities. For this fifth time, normally when they come, (all the missions) they do open heart surgery and pacemaker. For this time, they didn’t do any open-heart surgery, they did the valve and the replacement in which the heart was not opened. This is the first time in Ghana and this time too it was done at the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital. We are so happy that our cardiologists had the opportunity to do the first pacemaker surgery which had a lot of benefits for the patient”.

After the successful operation, the hospital management is confident that they are in a better position to handle such issues in subsequent times.

Georgina Afua Sam then called on the general public with heart conditions to visit the facility to ensure that they are adequately treated.

“What we are saying is that we’ve started. We want the community, the entire nation as a whole to know that Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has started and patients can come. They are warmly welcomed,” she added.

Speaking to Citi News, the team leader from the Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, Prof. Lin Chunying said in order for Ghanaian doctors to be able to apply the new cardio technique, her outfit through the support from the Chinese government sent some Ghanaian cardiologists to be trained in China.

“From 2014, we have been training doctors in Ghana. The first Doctor is Dr. Francis from the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and subsequently, we trained other doctors from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. All of them were under training for one year. They studied PCI, Intervention Operation including Pacemaker. After their training, they came back to Ghana and they tried to do operations themselves. So from 2014, I carried my team to Ghana to help them build their capacities and now they can do pacemaker themselves”.

She is hopeful that after the successful surgery performed by the Ghanaian team, the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital will be able to perform subsequent surgeries using the new procedure (Pacemaker) in order to save more lives.

“I think in the future, the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, since they have a Pacemaker team, maybe every week, they can finish Pacemaker themselves to save more lives”.

Some doctors however disclosed to Citi News that some equipment needed is not readily available and as a result, in order to facilitate their work, such equipment should be provided.

They are appealing to government and other philanthropic individuals and organizations to support them in that regard.

TBH. I never took Kenya serious until now.
There's this Kenya news channel I used to watch way back 2013 I think CITIZEN TV. Their life style were so primitive. Girls used chicken feathers as sanitary pads. Jees...

I'm surprised we're today pitched against each other arguing who is more developed. It's an insult. (Like comparing Singapore to the US).Same goes with Ghanaians, who even live a far better life than the Kenyans

spare my ribs bro Compairing what!!? Please bro leave south Africa alone. That is the only country in Africa that can tell us such nonsense. But Naijeria!!!? Oooh no please yes you are developing but not to that level of giving such silly comparison. Personally I love Naijeria and how it is developing. The last line you wrote shows how stupid uneducated you are.

Kenyan banks are trying to squeeze us on the interest rates issue. I heard last night from a CBK guy they're sitting on 600 mn USD excess liquidity they're deliberately withholding from potential borrowers!
They've been screaming of low biz since the 2016 capping yet profits have been growing yearly. Last year they grew a whole 10% on average.

. Jeez!!! are Kenya's programmed to be slow. Who compared dičk with SA.
I don't give a Bleep about the East, North, South or West Africa... Only redundant brain will the whole of East africa (excluding TZ) with Nigeria. The whole economy of that region isn't even up to half of Nigerias.

It's okay for smaller nations to have a nice statistics but when it comes to politics the Giant rules. Again, let Kenya have a say in the AU. And I will start taking you serious. Ruto your pm said when Nigeria sneezes, Africa including Kenya becomes cold.

It's ok my boy Kenya will be great one day. Don't forget while you are working towards that, Nigeria is working towards hers. Chess!!!

Meanwhile if you've got a nice business idea, I'm opened to learn.

Bank of Ghana governor landed top job at IMF

Dr. Philip Yedu Addison has been appointed chair of the board of governors of the IMF and the World Bank for 2020.

The selection which took place at the 2019 Annual Meetings Plenary of the Bretton Woods institutions in Washington DC on Friday, is one of many others conducted by the financial body on an annual regional rotation basis, 2020 is the turn of Africa.

In a press statement released by the Central Bank; the Bank of Ghana indicated that candidates for the position are considered based on competence, country’s standing and membership of the World Bank Group and IMF.

Ghana and subsequently Dr. Ernest Addison was appointed in recognition of impressive strides in macroeconomic stability achieved under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his lead role in cleaning up the banking sector.

The Board of Governors is the highest decision-making body of the IMF. It consists of one governor and one alternate governor for each member country. The governor is appointed by the member country and is usually the minister of finance or the head of the central bank.

While the Board of Governors has delegated most of its powers to the IMF's Executive Board, it retains the right to approve quota increases, special drawing right (SDR) allocations, the admittance of new members, compulsory withdrawal of members, and amendments to the Articles of Agreement and By-Laws.


The Board of Governors also elects or appoints executive directors and is the ultimate arbiter on issues related to the interpretation of the IMF's Articles of Agreement. Voting by the Board of Governors usually takes place by mail-in ballot.

Dr. Addison will among other things chair other functional Committees of the two institutions.

He will chair the Joint Committee on Remuneration of Executive Directors and their Alternates (JCR).

His duties also include the appointment of two other Committee members (on the recommendation of the President of the Bank and the Managing Director of the Fund), reviewing briefing papers, and convening meetings of the Committee.

He will also chair the Joint Procedures Committee (JPC)/MIGA Procedures Committee.

when nigerian banks are even finding customers to lend money ..... different strokes for different folks.

Our central bank developed a policy that mandated banks to have a minimum of 60% LDR ( loan-to-deposit ratio ).

We also have some good news as well in the Healthcare part Seyi makinde( beat Governor in Nigeria) who has only been in office since may has said they need to start upgrading their hospitals so he is going to update Jericho hospital in Ibadan to proper standards.

You can see which countries are going to be leading Africa and I am loving all of this news of new ports and railways Cameroon canceled their port because of lack of funding so now they are looking at Nigeria for the bakasi deep seaport which is very close to Cameroon and when the coastal rail line is complete it will be extended to Benin and Cameroon

Who just may start using our ports and buying our goods because well ours is better same case for Kenya as they as more people will use their ports because it is faster more efficient and much larger creating Kenya a lot of money

I did a bit of research and the Lamu port is much bigger than the lekki and the bakasi deep seaports Lamy will handle 25 million TEUs whilst lekki will handle 10 million TEUs and bakasi will also handle 10 million TEUs

Lamu is a massive project and I am sorry to say kazi it seems extremely feasible for people on Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and some parts of Ethiopia to start using lamu port for their imports

More development for Nigeria, as Lagos state government is planning on placing 3000km of Fibre optic cables to make it a smart city there are plans to upgrade the sewage system and cleaning of existing drainage systems has started

Last week sanwo olu the governor named a state of emergency on all bad roads and got 4 different contractors to fix a lot of roads all around Lagos they have started and it is in full gear

Waterway transportation is slowly becoming more buoyant with more stations being planned and the first phase of the light rail will be completed

There is no minimum LDR requirement but most kenyan banks exceed 60%. Majority do around 80%..

The problem is interest rates - I don't know how Nigeria survive with 20-25% interest rates - with CBR of 13%. Kenya has CBR of 8-9% and Interest Rate of 13% (with rate capping of course).

Yes it does sound nice it shows we are not going to be bottom lickers or spoon fed by foreign companies, same how we will not eat foreign rice, or foreign yam we can produce our own things to provide for our people the more indigenous owners of products we have the more self sufficient we are and the less money spent on imports and the more money made on exports.

Changoi Kericho Kenya,

Nandi County - Tinderet - Kenya.

Mombasa.

Do we have much lighter regulations here? Should we police banks more? How will banks react to such a regulation in Kenya? Banks will still create loopholes to beat such a regulation. The rate cap didn't benefit us much contrary to our hopes as banks opted lending to the government more instead of the private sector. No market has no loopholes to beat any policy/regulation including Nigeria.

See the city they want to compare with Abuja and Lagos these kenyans are comedians I swear big jokers these ugly congested cow Kratts with only one tiny village road

Regulation is very dicey business - because market forces are the best left on their own - so I think CBK has to find a way for banks to make profit and for their customer to get affordable banking services. I'd leave it to an Independent Central Bank to figure out the regulations needed. Parliament and Treasury should keep off.
