Cybersecurity in Hospitals: A Case Analysis of the University of Ghana Medical Centre

Author(s) Richard Aggrey, Nana Adwoa Dsane, Karl Osei Afoduo, Bright Ansah Adjei
Country Ghana
Abstract The University of Ghana Medical Centre Ltd is a premier academic health facility that delivers tertiary/quaternary level health services, education and research in Ghana, Africa and the globe. It is Ghana’s premier quasi health institution and is the only quaternary health centre in Ghana. It is a fully digitalised institution vulnerable to cyberattacks because of patient data, hospital systems, availability of health services and also data of prominent people in society. The paper analysed cybersecurity measures implemented at the health facility to reveal its advantages and disadvantages, and further outlook for its development. The research method comprised an assessment of cybersecurity-related activities, reports and documentation to explore cybersecurity measures and regulatory compliance in explaining timely employee awareness and responding to incidents to protect patients’ details with cybersecurity specialists’ cooperation. The study reports the proactive measures taken by the health facility to avert and mitigate potential cybersecurity threats. However, it also identifies the need for the facility to partner with cybersecurity experts in developing comprehensive response plans, and this comes in recognition of some weaknesses in the current implemented system which are institutional, bureaucratic and technology related.
