Staff Trained on Advanced Central Patient Monitoring System

The Tamale Teaching Hospital has commenced training for its nursing staff on the use of newly acquired Central Patient Monitoring Equipment. The devices, provided by the Ministry of Health, are advanced systems that leverage internet connectivity to enable remote monitoring of patients.

The monitors track four key vital signs—oxygen saturation (SPO2), body temperature, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and electrocardiogram (ECG). This technology aims to enhance patient care by ensuring continuous monitoring, even from a distance.

Staff from the Maternal Intensive Care Unit (MICU), Dialysis Unit, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and Internal Medicine Wards participated in the initial phase of training. Ing. Samuel Tettey, Head of the Biomedical Unit, highlighted the significance of the technology, stating, “The device uses the Internet, which helps to monitor patients at all times.”

Plans are underway to extend training to staff from other wards in the coming days, ensuring hospital-wide adoption of this innovative system. This development represents a significant step in modernizing healthcare delivery at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
