Several health professionals and health facilities in both herbal and orthodox practice were rewarded on Saturday, September 9 at the maiden edition of the Ghana Health Awards.

Ghana Health Awards is an initiative borne out of the Thyroid Ghana Foundation. The foundation takes care of patients with thyroid conditions.

According to Mrs. Nana Adwoa Konadu Dsane who is the Founder of the Foundation, the Awards ceremony is to reward health practitioners and facilities giving care in the country.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the ceremony over the weekend, she said, “The purpose of these awards and honours is basically to motivate and encourage health practitioners, facilities, and institutions.”

She assured that following the success of the maiden edition, the plan is to hold the Ghana Health Awards every year.

Mrs. Nana Adwoa Konadu Dsane in her interview congratulated all winners on the night while urging health practitioners to always treat patients who come to their facilities with love and care.

“If you are a healthcare practitioner and you are in the hospital please make it a point to make sure that anybody that you take care of you will be a blessing to that person.

“Let’s be sensitive to each other because you don’t know where tomorrow you will also go for your health care,” she said.
