Bed management system In a speech read on behalf of the Director-General of the GHS, Dr Boadu said the Service was implementing an integrated bed management and referral coordination system to give ambulance crews real-time information on available beds and the capacity of health facilities to provide the required care.

The Ghana Medical Innovation Expo 2026 has ended with a call for Ghanaian innovators to design low-cost medical equipment together with health workers, from the drawing board, so that devices meet local needs and can be maintained by local engineers.

The Director of the Institutional Care Division of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Lawrence Ofori Boadu, made the call at the Medical Innovation Expo 2026.
