The Ghana Medical Association (GMA), has asked government to suspend the proposed drones medical deliveries deal.
According to the GMA, the proposed services to be provided by the drones, do not conform to the existing primary health care policy .
Deputy General Secretary of the association, Dr. Titus Beyuo says getting drones for hospitals is not what the country needs now. He said what is important is for the government to improve emergency systems, provide ambulance and enhance human capacity.
Speaking on GBC’s Current Affairs Programme, ‘Behind The News’, Dr. Beyuo called for broader stakeholder consultations on the subject matter.
The MP for Breku East and Chairman of the Committee on Health, Dr. Kwabena Twum Nuama said he does not agree with speculations from people that Parliament rushed in endorsing the Drone deal.
He said the technology would improve blood distribution in the country.
