GHANA HEALTH: NYAHO MEDICAL CENTRE OPENED IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF ACCRA

Nyaho Medical Centre has opened its first satellite clinic at the
Octagon Building in the Central Business District of Accra.
The satellite clinic now makes it possible for people living and
working within Accra Central to continue to enjoy the same
world class health service at their main station in the Airport
Residential area.
Managing Director of the Nyaho Medical Centre, Dr. Elikem
Tamaklo believes the opening of their Octagon branch forms
part of the hospital’s larger goals in bringing healthcare to the
doorsteps of people.
“Nyaho Medical Centre’s vision is to be Africa’s most trusted
name in Healthcare. Our next step is to move closer to our
patients and we realized that our patients were actually spread
out in different areas so we didn’t have to rely on them just
coming to us but we need to move to them and then also we
needed to make sure that the experience that they had will not
be compromised but they would have the same experience as
the main center and even better,” he noted.
Explaining further in an interview with GN Media, Dr. Elikem
Tamaklo said the Medical Centre has made huge investment
in technology and completely digitalized its operations making
it possible to access information and records including digital
photos, at any of their facilities.
“We also have a Picture Archiving Communication System that
enables the doctors to pick up x-rays and CT scans like normal
digital photos and that can also be viewed remotely so you
can get an x-ray in one place and get the report in another.

Because it’s all electronic it means that there’s one patient
folder and it means whether patients go to one site or the
other, our doctors have the same access to the same
information,” he revealed
The facility is fully equipped with Doctors and Specialists
consultation, Diagnostic (ECG, ultrasound scans etc.) and
Laboratory services, Dispensary, Emergency care and
detention amenities as well as an Ambulance to transport
patients with conditions requiring escalated care.
