Practitioners
in alternative medicine are increasingly investing in new technologies to meet
the health needs of patients.
Traditional
herbal and alternative medicine continue to play vital role in Ghana’s health
service delivery.
As
patronage of medication and services records an upsurge, there are demands for
improved modes of drug administration and disease treatment.
According
to Dr. Caesar, Chief Executive Officer of M.Y. Ventures, effective treatment of
ailment requires efficient diagnoses.
He
has therefore acknowledged the need for good investments in equipment and new
technologies for holistic and accurate care of patients.
“We
cannot only sell medicine to patients, we also have to diagnose and in bringing
in equipment, it helps facilitate the health delivery”, stated Dr. Caesar. “The
alternative system also requires that we have to be sophisticated because some of
the sickness and diseases that we’re encountering these days require that we
use sophisticated machines”.
M.Y.
Ventures, a natural healthcare center, has introduced a swap card technology that
helps protect the privacy and data confidentiality of patients.
The
health facility has also invested in an ultramodern laboratory and scanning
technologies.
According
to Dr. Caesar, the credibility of herbal and alternative medicine practitioners
demands professional conduct, especially in employing competent personnel.
“We
should allow the skilled labour or personnel to handle various departments so
that it can bring professionalism and success to the business”, he admonished.
