  I am very excited about this. Most of these are related to some “Misguided Thoughts “or beliefs that Foreign medical professionals are better. Well , I am afraid this is not true. Most of our doctors trained outside the country and practicing in Ghana suffer the same. I was in Ghana a couple of years ago and suffered massive INFECTIONS. I went to a private Hospital in WEIJA and was “Checked and Examined physically by this doctor who is Foreign but established in Ghana , speaks RUSSIAN anyway. She told me exactly what was happening to me. And surprisingly suggested to my children to rush me back to Europe where I live . I was pretty surprised and upset. And said to her:: “Surely , you are a Doctor same as the trained doctors all over the world, what is the problem ? Is it the lack of knowledge to treat me or lack of Medications. I angrily said? She smiled and said kindly, sir , if you trust me to treat you here in Ghana , rather than flying back to Europe, yes, I can do that. I said to her that I had my Business Class ticket and my insurance for “Air Ambulance Services to any nearest hospital in the world. I asked the doctor to get on with it. She restored my health in that hospital in WEIJA. I showed the X-ray films and pictures and the kind of treatment I received from this hospital in WEIJA to my GP on my return to Europe . I went to a voluntary quarantine for sometime to for another check over. This hospital and doctor are now my favourite family hospital and doctor in Ghana.

  How many Ghanaian families travel abroad for medical treatment? It is often you the political class who use our meager national resources to finance your medical bills abroad. This is how selfish you are as our leaders.
