Parliamentary Visit to UK

By Progress

In March NMS was honoured with a visit by representatives of the Parliamentary Select Health Committee who were accompanied by members of the Project Implementation Unit of the Ministry of Health.

The team was able to see and understand the UK side of operations, viewing some of the key product and logistical components going into ensuring the quality and efficiency of this project.

The visiting team were invited to inspect the steel frame being shipped for the Dodowa hospital in situ at the steelworks factory, which they also toured, seeing the next batch of steel going through the factory.  In addition they inspected the Freight Forwarding Warehouses being used for this project.

We were delighted to welcome the team to NMS’ project offices where we were able to further discuss the project, bringing further insight to both sides.

The visit was invaluable, promoting dialogue and spurring a number of very useful ideas.  We are grateful to the whole visiting team for their thoughts and enthusiasm to see the health sector in Ghana progress rapidly and professionally.

Dodowa District Assembly & NMSI Joint Working Team Established

By Dodowa, Progress

An outcome of this great working relationship that has been building up onsite is that NMSI and the District Assembly have established a joint working team to oversee water management. With NMSI taking responsibility for internal water drainage in compliance with the DA water strategy, the DA will deal with external water drainage under our Joint External Water Management Strategy. As well as agreeing this plan we have put in place an implementation timetable which will see work completed before the rains start in June.
