The Ghana Health Awards and Honors is dedicated to the Ghana Health industry recognizing individual and organizations making positive impact in the health sector in Ghana.

Speaking at the press soirée,  Mrs Nana Adwoa Konadu Dsane,  the founder of the Ghana Thyroid Foundation and the Ghana Health Awards and Honors reiterated that, health workers mostly boil the ocean to save lives hence the need to acknowledge their sacrifices.

” Though people have had bad experiences when it comes to their healthcare providers,  there are some who are  doing so well and would even not go home when there’s a life to save. I’ve come across a lot of them because of the Thyroid Ghana Foundation. Especially during the COVID-19 time, some stayed away from their families for 2 weeks without their families seeing them.Dont you think they deserve some recognition? I think this is long overdue! ” : She added.

The Ghana Health Awards and Honors themed ” Our Health, Our Heroes ”  is scheduled to take  place in March 2023 at the Medical Training and Simulation Centre, Legon in Accra.
