More than 50% of newly trained doctors from the University for Development Studies (UDS) have expressed their readiness to serve in rural communities in the Northern region.
According to the Head of the Community Health Department of UDS Medical School, Dr Sam Bugre, the doctor/patient ratio in the Northern Region is nothing to write home about currently.
He added that UDS was not going to relent on its efforts to train quality doctors to fill the yawning gap of doctor/patient ratio, especially in the Upper East, Upper West and the Northern regions.
