    why only students and not practicing doctors? may be i did not read right or understood the context. but if what i read is the case then i think it should include practicing doctors since this is a teaching hospital.

    that sounds more like clinic with no equipment...any hospital in USA would cost 5-10 million without equipment to build

  • man G 9 years ago

    that's just for the training not the hospital building.

  • MENSAH 9 years ago

    $217,000 FOR A TEACHING HOSPITAL? THIS IS VERY FUNNY. A FEW KVIP TOILETS BUILT IN THE VOLTA AND KUMASI REGIONS COST $ 1 MILLION DOLLARS? CHOP MAKE I CHOP SOME.

  • JA 9 years ago

    What specialized course in medicine is done for six months or one year? Who advised her to say that? These ministers should always check their facts before standing/sitting behind the microphones to talk.

  • Yaa Nkosuo 9 years ago

    Instead of coming up with the facts they choose to withhold information and release scanty information.
    Perhaps it is to familarize themselves with modern medicine rather than Post-graduate qualifications.
    $217k and on a 6m ...

    It doesnt sound right! $217000 per student or entire programme? Specialist medical training is very expensive and $217000 sounds bogus.
