This is not simply inconvenient. It places lives at risk,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He further raised concerns about the mental wellbeing of doctors, citing growing levels of stress and depression within the profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis suggests that beyond the numbers, there is a strain on morale and mental health within the profession,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23843\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23843\" style=\"width: 976px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23843 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG-20260318-WA0218.jpg\" alt=\"DR ANABAH\" width=\"976\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG-20260318-WA0218.jpg 976w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG-20260318-WA0218-250x206.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG-20260318-WA0218-768x632.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG-20260318-WA0218-600x494.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Dr Thomas Anabah, MP Garu<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Drawing on global examples, Dr. Anabah urged Ghana to reform its licensing and credential recognition systems to attract foreign-trained doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should make it easier for Ghanaian doctors abroad to return and practice, and for qualified foreign-trained doctors to contribute, without compromising patient safety,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He proposed the introduction of supervised, fast-track licensing pathways and policies that align immigration with healthcare needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana can explore similar supervised, fast-tracked pathways,\u201d he said, adding that such measures have proven effective in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The MP also called for broader reforms in medical education and training, saying \u201cWe must adopt competency-based medical education, expand postgraduate training pathways, and invest in faculty development and infrastructure,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the structural proposals, Dr. Anabah emphasized that improving working conditions remains critical. \u201cExpanding numbers without addressing welfare will not solve the problem,\u201d he cautioned, advocating for fair compensation, rural incentives, and better mental health support for healthcare workers.<\/p>\n<p>He therefore called for national unity and urgency in addressing the crisis. \u201cAchieving Universal Health Coverage by 2030 depends on the strength of our human resources for health,\u201d he said. \u201cThe people of Garu, Gomoa, Ga Mashie, and every community in Ghana deserve accessible and quality healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other MPs who contributed to the statement commended the Garu lawmaker and urged that the government take up the proposed statement to formulate policies to address the pressing health needs, especially medical doctors returning home to practices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba\/\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament (MP) for Garu, Dr Thomas Winsum Anabah, has called on Parliament to pursue urgent legislative reforms that would enable foreign-trained medical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[4453],"class_list":["post-23841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-dr-anabah-shortage-doctors"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
