Dr Abdullah said he would have thought that the funding for the UGMC would have built some centres for excellence in the country that can be able to pay the loan faster. “UGMC is basically a replica of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and for me, to some extent, it was some lack of understanding of our programmes. “We built UGMC without having a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan for instance as a country. Of course, we have the radiotherapy and radio oncology centre at Korle Bu but we should have cancer properly built centre with admission beds there for these patients. Having done all these and built UGMC, it is not functioning to the level that we had expected it to be.
