He highlighted that the department’s staff and residents consistently deliver five-star patient care, reflecting the excellence of the training programme.
Dr. Owusu-Sekyere made these remarks during a meeting with the accreditation team from the West African College of Physicians. The team, led by Dr. Taiwo Lateef Sheikh visited Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to assess and renew the accreditation of the Department of Psychiatry or Psychiatry Sub-BMC.
The department was granted a five-year accreditation in 2020, which is set to expire this year. To facilitate the renewal process, the visiting team met with the Acting Chief Executive and other senior management members to discuss the way forward.
Speaking at the meeting, the Acting Director of Medical Affairs, Dr. Harry Akoto emphasised the vital role of accreditation in elevating institutional growth.
He noted that maintaining accreditation not only enhances the hospital’s reputation but also ensures continuous improvement in patient care.
