While commending the government, the Registrar tabled two requests including one which is seeking for government to establish an Allied Health College. The other seeks to convert existing allied health programmes into six-year duration programmes which will lead to the awarding of doctorate degrees. Relating the role of allied health professionals to the theme of the event – “Effective Management of COVID-19: The Role of the Allied Health Professional,” Mr Agyeman Manu said allied health professionals at the core of their duty play a very important role in health care delivery. “There is no doubt that allied health professionals continue to play very important roles in health care delivery in the country. All the testing are done by the allied health professionals and they constitute a key part of a multi-disciplinary team in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic” he said.
