A TELEHEALTH PROJECT AT JIRAPA


Jirapa UWR, Nov. 12, GNA - The Rotary Foundation Global Grant, has established a Telehealth Project at Jirapa in the Upper West Region to provide video conferencing between medical staff to enhance patient care through professional development.

The 50,000 dollars project is a three- country Rotary Club initiative to broaden the knowledge base of medical practitioners and allied health professionals.

The project would provide interaction between healthcare providers in rural and resource poor areas where one doctor serves a population of 80,000, with their counterparts in advanced and developed countries, says D. Godfrey Bacheyie, Local Physician and Project Leader.

The Rotary Club of Windsor in Canada, which is the brain behind the implementation of the project, is being partnered by Jirapa Health Alliance and Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central in Ghana as well as Herzog Hospital and the Rotary Club of Jerusalem in Israel.

Dr Bacheyie said the project had come at an opportune time because Jirapa has been an under serviced community and is suffering from the challenges of expert skills and knowledge in health care delivery, education and agriculture among other setbacks.

The project was therefore designed to help improve the knowledge base of health professionals to overcome their daily operational challenges and students of the health training institutions to enhance their performance.

Academic work and specialised expertise and advice are being provided by Herzog Hospital.

Dr Bacheyie said: "The challenges of having nobody to consult when in difficulty would not be there again with the facility functioning. It also has a huge potential for teachers and agriculturists as well for self development."

He said plans are underway to extend the facility to Saint Francis Girls Senior High School in Jirapa and improve the knowledge based of tutors and students.

Dr Richard Wodah, Medical Doctor at St Joseph’s Hospital at Jirapa said the facility would help encourage young doctors and other medical professionals to accept posting to the medical facility.

He announced that a lecture hall would be provided and equipped for the operations of the facility and called on stakeholders in the health sector to play their roles appropriately to sustain the project.

The facility will provide nine new beds for children and teens experiencing mental health crises, and will offer expanded services to families. Because it is difficult for parents to leave their kids, especially little kids who are seven or eight, the new home will provide enough space for visiting parents who wish to stay overnight with their children

Rotary Youth Exchange


"The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people regardless of nationality desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding."

We need homes for our Rotary 1918 incoming Exchange Students.
Talk to Janet Kelly if you or a person you know could host a student for a period of time.

for more information

E-clubs generally have two requirements for a make-up: Spend 30 minutes on their site reading from a collection of Rotary-related programs, and complete a make-up request form, which includes answering a few questions about what you read. (Don't worry, the questions are reflective, not multiple choice.)
