Member of Parliament for Lambussie, Professor Titus Beyuo, has praised Ghana’s new digital health platform.
The Ghana Healthcare Information Management System (GHIMS) has been warmly received by staff at Ridge Hospital.
The platform replaces the Lightwave Health Information Management System, which suffered repeated failures and disruptions.
According to Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, a four-week nationwide migration is already underway.
The process starts with teaching and regional hospitals before expanding to clinics and CHPS compounds.
GHIMS aims to ensure reliable health records, reduce patient delays, and eliminate manual record-keeping challenges.
Speaking earlier, Prof. Beyuo said Ridge staff are excited about the new system.
“Our colleagues at Ridge Hospital are jubilating because the software is more user-friendly,” he said.
“It allows customisation to suit each hospital’s needs. I suggested Korle Bu as next.”
He added that the platform’s flexibility and reliability mark a strong step in digital healthcare.
