#Onedaymedicolegalsymposium theme: Ghana's Patient Charter: 12 years on 1. The patient charter is a special statute passed in 2012 as part of the Public Health Act (section 167). The Charter spells out 14 patient rights and 9 responsibilities. 2. The Charter is meant to standardise healthcare and safeguard the right of patients. 3. Although the Charter is meant to bind healthcare providers and patients at the point of care , their real meaning is in law and beyond their casual meaning hence the need to get a senior jurist to delve into the meaning and scope of each of the 14 rights and 9 responsibilities enshrined in the Charter. 4. Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, FGA is a Justice of the African Court on Human and People's Rights based in Tanzania and the Court of Appeal Ghana. He will critique the Charter, evaluate its justiciability and relevance ( efficacy) as a tool to vindicating the rights of patients 5. The other keynote Speaker for the day is Dr Divine Banyubala Esq. He is the Registrar of the Medical and Dental Council and is both a physician and a lawyer. He will assess the Charter from the regulatory angle in terms of the Legal assistance the Charter lends to the regulator in upholding patients rights and holding physicians to account. 6. Also on the bill is Prof Ato Duncan of COA FS fame and Nana Kwadwo Obiri- the President and Secretary respectively of Ghana Federation of Traditional Herbal Medicine.These two eminent herbal practitioners will take turns to broaden our understanding of the "Ethics, standard of care and patient rights in the context of traditional herbal practice in the 21st century". 7. The event will be chaired by the erudite Prof Dr Otchere Addai-Mensah, the CEO of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Today, on the World Day of the Family Doctor, I am recalling some of the main conclusions and recommendations presented by me, at the Medical Congress "Medical and Beauty Fair" May, 2024, in which I expressed: 1. The system works for the data, the Doctor cares more for the patient. It is imperative that the system continues in this direction -> Primary health system centered on the patient. 2. "Reading" of clinical data by professionals helps health policies in terms of improving the provision of health services and significantly reduces the burn-out of health personnel. 3. The efficiency of the primary health service through technological developments where Albania is sufficiently advanced will enable a universal health coverage by offering personalized treatment schemes for each NCD🫀🫁🧠👁️👂, integrated medical protocols 🧾 ✍️, multidisciplinary algorithms, work processes automated, preventive/treatment data analyses💉💊🌡️🧪, remote monitoring. Also, I want to thank every family doctor and health personnel in the primary service Health Centers 🏥 in Albania for the contribution and the great volume of work they perform every day of the year. #SilentHeroes 🩺🥼 While the family 🏡🧑🧑🧒🧒 is universally known to be the basis of society, everyone should understand and never forget that the Doctor👨⚕️🧑⚕️ is one of the main aspects that help create a healthy family . Because everything starts from being healthy. #PROUDofOurDoctors🧑⚕️👨⚕️🥼🩺🏥

Every life is valuable. Does that sound offensive to you? Would you want to live in a society in which that statement is NOT true? Well, did you know that in 2022, 4.1% of all deaths in Canada were attributed to medically assisted death? This number has been increasing since the institution of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada in 2016. This week on Coffee, Commerce & Catechesis, Travis and I are joined by Amanda Achtman, from Dying to Meet You and Canadian Physicians for Life. Amanda is a dedicated advocate for ethical medical practices and a defender of fundamental freedoms. Amanda has a background in journalism, advocacy, and ethics, and she brings a compassionate perspective to this complex issue. Some Key Highlights: • The rising trend of euthanasia in Canada and its implications. • Personal stories and the human side of medically assisted death. • Ethical considerations and the value of life in modern society. • The role of hope and community support in end-of-life care. Why This Matters: Euthanasia is not just a medical issue; it’s a societal one. Understanding the nuances and the impact on families, healthcare providers, and the broader community is crucial. It is important to see beyond the statistics and into the lives affected by these decisions. Join the Conversation: We invite you to listen, reflect, and share your thoughts. How do we balance compassion with ethical considerations in end-of-life care? What can we do to support those who are vulnerable and ensure their dignity and worth are upheld?
