The management of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital [KBTH] is organising its first Innovation Summit to showcase new approaches, technologies and ingenious projects in a two-day event dubbed, The Innovation Summit.
The Innovation Summit event intends to provide an interdisciplinary forum in the format of oral and poster presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions.
In view of this, management invites all staff across varied backgrounds, clinical and non-clinical, to submit a video and/or a paper demonstrating successful implementation of an intervention, for consideration as an oral or poster presentation or for an exhibition.
