” Though people have had bad experiences when it comes to their healthcare providers,  there are some who are doing so well and would even not go home when there’s a life to save. I’ve come across a lot of them because of the Thyroid Ghana Foundation. Especially during the COVID-19 time, some stayed away from their families for 2 weeks without their families seeing them. Don't you think they deserve some recognition? I think this is long overdue! ”: She added.

The Ghana Health Awards and Honors themed ” Our Health, Our Heroes ”  is scheduled to take place in March 2023 at the Medical Training and Simulation Centre, Legon in Accra.
