The sudden passing of Ghana Freedom Party founder, Akua Donkor, has sent shockwaves throughout the nation.
Nana Romeo, a prominent radio presenter, has come forward with startling revelations about the events leading up to her demise.
According to Nana Romeo, Akua Donkor’s transfer from Nsawam Government Hospital to Ridge Hospital in Accra was prompted by the lack of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the former facility.
This critical shortage forced medical personnel to relocate her to Ridge Hospital, where she tragically succumbed to respiratory complications on Monday night.
Nana Romeo’s disclosures raise pressing concerns about Ghana’s healthcare infrastructure:
- Inadequate ICU facilities: Nsawam Government Hospital’s lack of ICU capabilities highlights the need for enhanced medical resources.
- Challenging transfers: The arduous journey from Nsawam to Accra underscores the risks faced by critically ill patients during transportation.
- Bed shortages: Nana Romeo emphasizes the dire need for increased bed capacity in Ghanaian healthcare facilities.
Akua Donkor’s legacy as a trailblazing politician, cocoa farmer, and advocate for farmers’ and women’s rights will endure, even as the nation grapples with the systemic issues that contributed to her untimely passing.
