Does Health really Needs Technology; I met the Experts.

Tuesday 28th October was an awesome day in my life especially as in
when you have that fulfillment after the opportunity to witness and
co-organise
the first edition of Tech Meets Health a flagship program of The Sangy
Foundation powered by ProMobileGH.

The essence of the program was to create a platform where technology
experts and health expert can connect solely to discuss issues in
health solvable by technology and finding lasting solutions to them
which in itself will go a long way to help the good people of Ghana
and humanity at large.

Before the session, we had a splendid health check-up and consultation
with the Sangy Nursing Services and an amazing massage and
chiropractic care
from Healing Hands Massage to keep our spine healthy. Guess what, all
came at a zero cost.

Hosted by Reach for Change Game Changer, Founder/Vice President of The
Sangy Foundation, Sara Nana Yeboah and CEO of ProMobileGH, Daniel
Antwi,
the topic for discussion was centered on the Theme: Should Health Meet Tech.

Dr. Annie Gbezie, a Medical Doctor from the KorleBu Teaching Hospital
was so exceptional in her talk as she laid out the problems being
faced in her sector, the way she is solving them with technology and
how others can also utilize that same resources. She made notice of
having Google as her senior doctor, medical Facebook groups and pages
as her companions and would welcome more innovation to make her work
so easy and effective.

Representing the Tech was the CEO of 360GH, Rita Kusi who has a vast
knowledge on what the tech industry can actually do to help the
several problems in the health sector. She shared knowledge on already
available applications on the internet and contributed immensely to
the discussion.

Discussions spanned across on how to improve the health sector with
amazing contributions from the participants.

After the event, I networked papa just to be in touch with our amazing
participants and speakers’ whiles enjoying myself with the best
refreshment and that’s why you don’t need to miss the next edition.
All participants
were also awarded certificates to evident their attendance of the first edition.

Tech Meets Health will be a monthly interaction and networking event where
Technology and Health personalities connect every last Tuesday of every month.
