Jokomo 🩹

You see why sometimes when you work outside Ghana it’s difficult to come and back to our homeland to work with some of these ignorant confident beings 😂😂😂. As I am now validating results in Uk labs, I am an idiot or you get sense pass these advance systems. Herrrr Does he even know how QMS and ISO 15189 outline lab systems? Jesus

There's no point debating opinions when the facts are available.

In the next few years, we will have medical doctors specializing in NURSING,PHARMACY,INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, and HOSPITAL IT amongst others if this is allowed to continue . Withdraw accreditation for the LP program NOW.

@_iamsamani Hmmm

I just watched this interview of a Korle Bu doctor explaining the strike and I’m honestly angry. Saying lab professionals “don’t have the training to correlate results with clinical findings” is simply false. Clinical correlation is part of our training. It’s exactly why we ask for DIAGNOSIS on request forms. You cannot send incomplete forms with no diagnosis, then turn around and say labs can’t correlate results. ALSO, The claim that labs have been producing “nonsensical” results for 10–15 years is not just inaccurate, it’s reckless. If that were true, we would have system-wide clinical failure, no routine care still functioning across the country. Lab medicine is not guesswork. It’s a regulated discipline built on SOPs, internal QC, EQA schemes, validation protocols and trained professionals who understand both the analytics and the clinical context. And since we’re talking about “why tests are repeated” and “why revenue drops,” let’s not pretend there aren’t other drivers. There are well-known practices where requests are redirected to private labs so that you the prescribers get a commission and we know it all too well and that has to be part of the conversation too. If there are specific cases of poor quality, present the data, audit it, fix it. But blanket statements about incompetence???? After training for 6 plus years I beg to differ! We all want patient safety. That requires accurate testing, proper clinical information and honest collaboration. Not selective narratives that place blame on one group while ignoring the full picture.

@tech_twi The "political lens" problem.

I remember pointing out exactly what could happen after this BoG meeting. People really attacked me, but now that’s exactly what is happening. Honestly, if you take off party glasses and hate for someone, you will always see possibilities.

@DzataOfficial It’s interesting hearing any party claim tolerance when we’ve seen arrests over memes and online speech across different governments. Maybe the issue isn’t which party is better, but that none of them have been consistent in protecting the freedom of speech. It's the JOKE.

@DzataOfficial Tell me a joke without telling me a joke.

The NDC is the most tolerant political party. We are not vindictive or bitter as you claim. We all remembered how the NPP hunted Bongoideas and how they injured people at Ayawaso East during the elections.

@djsliming @DrAmoakohene True

If we had @DrAmoakohene as Reg minister when kumerica started like by now we get like 10 Grammy awards sef for Otomfour ihn der

Flashes of thoughts. Has Pharmacy a future in Ghana’s public sector?

@tech_twi I love your stuff..but I'm out of Accra.. sometimes it's hard to bid.

Buy it today for only 11,000 GHC. I will add you the mouse.

Nothing excites the uneducated than seeing a graduate struggling to get a job.

Before buying that used laptop, remember not every spec you see tells the real story 👀

@_iamsamani I totally agree.

@jokomogh I think I need to engage the minster in a report on this, for some answers

"The Allied Health Professional Council regulates Allied Health Professionals, and the list is clearly stated in the schedule of Act 857 and it lists those who are allied health professionals - you must be a lab technician, you must be a medical laboratory technologist or a medical laboratory scientist. These are allied health professionals. As a medical doctor, I am not an allied health professional so under no circumstance can that regulatory agency regulate my practice. This is the mistake that unfortunately, the allied health professionals are making." Professor Akosa, DIR GEN. GHS Case closed.

@_iamsamani At the core of this, is who qualifies for Leadership of the Laboratory Units/Department..etc

@jokomogh Well according to a DG of the GHS, The LP is not an allied health professional thus doses not require the regulator i.e AHPC to function.

@_iamsamani I see. So, AHPC is meant to regulate Laboratory Practice & its practitioners (Act 857, 2013), and LPs want to practice in the Laboratory as LPs but do not require regulation from the body meant to oversee that sector. Do you see the irony?

It’s very true; I can now drink from the River Pra without any treatment. 🌚🌚

@_iamsamani *its

@_iamsamani Sure. But who regulates laboratory practice and it's practitioners? Does the role of LP fall under laboratory practice or medicine? Just asking, because you seem so sure of the act you referenced.

@Farukvandamn2 @tech_twi @GhPoliceService Just look at that. Yakubu.

@tech_twi @GhPoliceService whenever he steps foot in Ghana . Arrest him . He should bring evidence

The reason I posted this is because my sister told me they want to recruit their batch of nurses, but they have to pay a “protocol” fee of 15,000 to 25,000 GHC. If anyone in her year gets recruited without the rest of her batch, we will add that to our next advocacy. Bomboclat things!!
