C&J Medicare and Diagnostic Centre opened

 

The C&J Medicare Hospital Group has opened an ultra-modern hospital and diagnostic centre to offer cost-effective and quality healthcare at Lashibi in Accra.

The new facility is part of management’s long-term facilities development and growth strategy to establish a national network of healthcare facilities in the country.

The Centre has modern equipment -- including 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment, the first privately-owned MRI of that magnetic strength -- for accurately observing disease processes in the body.

It also has a 16-slice CT scan that allows for scans with improved resolution at enhanced speed, upgraded ultrasound machines, as well as digital mamograph and X-ray plus a laboratory equipped with ultra-modern automated machines to ensure reduced waiting times for results, particularly when working with large numbers.

“This is our first step into telemedicine. Our focus is to provide the healthy individual with opportunity to visit his doctor for healthy lifestyle advice and also be screened for other life-threatening illnesses at an early stage,” Dr. Joyce Djabatey, Chief Executive Officer, C&J Medicare Hospital Group, said.

Dr. Djabatey said in response to the changing trends and needs necessitated by the expansion, the Centre has brought on board specialists and highly-skilled personnel to strengthen management and its clinical team as well as support services.

She said the Centre is instituting cutting-edge information technology solutions which, when completed, will allow for sending confidential reports as well as images by secure email internationally for second opinions as and when necessary.

 â€œWe call on corporate bodies and individuals to take advantage of our ultra-modern facilities in furtherance of preventive healthcare as we contribute toward a healthier and wealthier country,” she advised.

C&J Medicare Hospital Group, which started as a small private clinic focusing on out-patient care, now operates a total of eight healthcare facilities made up of five in-plant clinics, two hospitals and a Walk-In Clinic at Takoradi in the Western Region.
