  • DEACON 11 years ago

    THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES, THE PROBLEM IS WE DONT PRAY AND FAST BEFORE THE OPERATION. PRAYER IS THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS.

    GOD IS BIGGER THAN AN DOCTOR OR EQUIPMENT. WHEN MEN FAIL, GOD WINS.

  • Terribly SpeCific 11 years ago

    Look at an environment they call hospital,surgical room or intensive care unit? and Wayome alone......OH GOD HELP GHANA!!!

  • MENSAH BAHAMAS 11 years ago

    yes i agree with you the surgical room is very old and very very dirty

  • KOFI NUA 11 years ago

    WHEN THE DOCTORS AND NURSES PRAY SERIOUSLY BEFORE ANY OPERATION, BE CAREFUL. THEY ARE COMPANSATING FOR SOMETHING.

    SUCCESS IN AN OPERATION IS DEPENDENT ON EQUIPMENT AND EXPERT DOCTORS, NOT FATING AND PRAYERS.

  • AMEN 11 years ago

    Total stupidity. Always stoking the tribal embers. How can Ghana move foward. Even in almighty USA, Canada Germany etc, such incidents happen. Let us pray for the other one to survive and stop that tribal nonsense.
