“Our rural and deprived communities remains one of the priorities of this country. This explains why efforts are being made to ensure that each district should have a functional hospital that befits its status,” he said.
“Unfortunately, it has been observed that most young medical officers and dentists are reluctant to accept postings to work in such needy areas after their housemanship,” Dr. Asare added.
He continued: “this year, we have started interviewing doctors, we are not posting them anymore. We will not sit in Accra again and post any doctor.”
