| Publisher Description: FOREWORD FOREWORD Dr. Joseph Gyanteh brings together several years of experience as a medical entrepreneur to bear in this powerful book which he has aptly titled "START YOUR OWN HOSPITAL IN GHANA". I deem it a great privilege to be called upon to write the foreword for this book. Having, as a business consultant, assisted in the set-up of many hospitals, clinics and maternity homes and guiding many dying hospitals, navigate their way to recovery and in some cases safely transferring ownership to a new group of shareholders, Dr. Gyanteh has distinguished himself as an authority in this business and has become the "go-to person" on issues related to this subject area. This book will enlighten you, by revealing the truths, the myths and some of the realities of establishing, owning, managing and ensuring the survival of your hospital or clinic in Ghana. The landscape of the private healthcare delivery industry in Ghana has enough room for more people or business entities to become formidable players. This is because Ghana has an inadequate number of health delivery facilities in comparison to the number of people with unmet healthcare needs. The so much touted 'many private providers' are mainly centered in the two regional capitals - Accra and Kumasi. Prospective hospital owners are not venturing into the trade beyond these two cities, because of lack of a good understanding of the business environment as well as a short term outlook on the profitability of these businesses. If potential investors can venture with the hope of establishing a healthcare facility that will exist beyond their life-time, then this is a must-read book. |
