You're right. The doctors are more refined and professional. Now people will understand why that guy (can't remember his name) attacked a nurse at Ridge Hospital. The attitude of Ghanaian nurses is simply unacceptable. They usually fiddle with their phones while patients moan in agony. They have no work ethics, no sympathy and empathy but are the first to threaten to strike over pay increase. Uh!

Why do the nurses behave unprofessionally and wickedly?
>>Because society has been heavily corrupted. Night time nurses, why are you heartless?
>>Who monitors health workers? Leaders, this question is to you.

Ghana’s healthcare system continues to face significant challenges due to the persistent reluctance to enforce regulatory standards. Public discourse often defaults to emotional or sentimental arguments, which undermines the need for firm, evidence‑based oversight. While the contributions of health professionals — including doctors who are bound by a Hippocratic duty of care — are deeply valued, this recognition must not prevent the enforcement of minimum service standards.

A key institutional gap lies in the failure of regulatory bodies, particularly the Ministry of Health and its allied agencies, to establish and uphold clear operational requirements for facilities seeking hospital status. As part of any licensing framework, the continuous availability of a qualified medical doctor on a 24/7 basis should be a non‑negotiable criterion. Facilities unable to meet this requirement should not be accredited as hospitals. Instead, they should be classified as health posts or lower‑tier facilities, with corresponding limitations, service scopes, and regulatory expectations.

The current environment allows too many instances of professional negligence, substandard care, and operational lapses to go unaddressed. This erodes public trust and compromises patient safety. Strengthening accountability mechanisms and enforcing existing regulations without fear or favour is essential to improving healthcare outcomes.

It is time for regulatory institutions to apply the necessary sanctions and uphold the standards required for safe, reliable medical care.
Firm enforcement is not optional — it is a public‑health imperative.

We have been talking about Management oversight and sweeping reforms in Ghana for as long as we've been breathing, but Ghana's problem makes it feel as if there aren't enough smart people anywhere in the system, and the endemic indiscipline and incivility traditionally continue to fester.

If authorities aren't capable of enforcing rules and policies required for the efficient functioning of institutions and the public is frustrated and enraged, there's nothing sentimental/emotional about their reactions, simply because the irreverent and misplaced actions resulting in increased mortality for instance, are palpable and real!

You can see, that this morbid behaviors, most of which undermine our development is exclusively present in only black African countries: The leadership is interested in making a lot of money at the expense of the taxpayer and therefore uninterested in things that matter for everyone. Why should we even be talking about public health when it should be top priority?

Will something better work in Ghana one day? Frankly, I have my doubts.

Our institutions aren’t collapsing by accident, they collapse because no one enforces anything, and every decision is filtered through a political lens. Until leaders face real consequences, nothing will change. Full stop.

All the problems we have in Ghana (the systemic failure) is from the inability to hold people accountable!

Our failure, our waywardness, the country's economic stagnation, exceeding stupidity are all result of the stupid Judiciary and Law Enforcement we have.

I had a Diploma course in Health Systems Management in 2008 at the then Galilee College, Israel. Now Galilee Institute of Management. On their records no mother had died for the past 50 years at childbirth at that time. I remember when at the time our women were dying in Govt hospitals, around that time, Kwame Sefa, a radio host asked a Kade Medical Dr why our women are dying at childbirth, to quote him verbatim " oh it is normal". That is the tragedy of our health system when you meet Facebook, Instagram, X, etc Nurse at the facility.

For the longest time I have relentlessly established that the transformation of our Educational System in English to primarily Twi is the nemesis of modern day Ghana. What intellectual conversation can one accomplish in speaking Twi in a scientific, medical or technical environment? But the attitude has invaded our once highly intelligent scholarly class. Our nursing schools are filled with failed rural kids who cannot read or write appropriately but then forced into nursing schools like a roadside mechanics apprenticeship. Same thing with our law school grads who become parliamentarians. The day people will heed and recognize my diagnosis of our failures is the day Ghana will return to its glorious place as one of the most charismatic and intelligent people in the world. Akananization of Ghana is our Achilles Heel. Let this haunt you till eternity ‼️

If we keep solving problems from the consequences without revisiting the root cause, we will always get ourselves at the beginning (cyclical ). The root cause of this problem is systemic failure (serious infrastructure issues), which likely triggered the doctors and nurses behaviour ( negligence). This problem is caused by leadership failure to prioritise the health sector, and because they know would take medical care abroad, they don't really care. So let's stop using
