Sad story but there are so many of such hospital neglect stories that nothing surprises me anymore. The question is what is the current ebola policy and has this been made available to all hospitals and care centers?

Each one for himself and God for us all. Over to you NDC. Is this your preparedness to confront Ebola? Shame and stupid fools from President to the foot soldier. 'Mmoa mma'.

THESE CASES SHOW HOW CALLOUS OUR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE IN GHANA. AS SOMEONE SAYS, AS PROFESSIONALS, IF YOU SUSPECT EBOLA, TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS AND TRY TO TREAT THEM. THE RELATIVES SHOULD SUE THE HOSPITAL FOR NEGLIGENCE BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH OF THIS GOING ON IN GHANA.

If 37 military hospital cannot assure the public that they are capable of treating ebola patients then we are in a big trouble.

Ghanaians will know and learn better after being deceived by N.D.C gov't propaganda tactics.The gov't yes means, no and their no,is yes. They said the country is ready for Ebola but doctors said hospitals are not well equipped .Now patients are dying because nurses and doctors are running away to avoid the Ebola virus infection. N.D.C will kill Ghanaians before 2016.

The disease is already killing ghanaians from afar. Have the medical staff been given their protective gear. The minister of health should take over the investigation immediately and make recommendations as we cannot afford to behave like this if we are unfortunate enough to have the real thing on our shores

Mahama has been telling the world how prepared Ghana is regarding Ebola and all hospital can do is refuse to attend to a suspected ebola patient.

These staff may have refused simply because they feel there do not have the resources to attend to these patients.

Ghanaians have you seen how your NDC government treats you like animals.

NDC don't care about the Ghanaian life.
With NDC corruption is the most important activity in power.

Whoever brought these DIRTY FOLKS into Ghana politics have caused Ghana a big LOSS.

So, which machines are we using in ghana to test on suspected ebola patients.... ''WO1 Peter Azubire Atibire and another soldier were quarantined at the 37 Military Hospital last Tuesday when they fell ill while on a peace-keeping mission in Mali.'' ...Even though the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) later confirmed NEGATIVE the status of two soldiers quarantined at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra – after their blood samples were sent to the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) at the University of Ghana, Legon – it was too late to save WO1 Atibire..... So people are continually testing negative for ebola, yet dying in the shortest possible time... after complaining/reporting ebola symptoms. Ei Ghana

My dear, poor Ghana. What have you done to deserve being managed by twits? We are being led by irresponsible people.

I have been telling Ghanaians not to rely on these so-called and unqualified and unprofessional health workers in Ghana. If you do, u put your life at risk. If people are dying from cholera in these facilities, what do you expect them to do if they suspected someone of having Ebola? The point is every single health worker is afraid bcos the govt has not heeded advice to give each and every worker insurance cover to work. Most of these health workers too are square pegs in a round holes. Ghana is at cross road and no single worker is patriotic. Govt officials have not set any good precedence to show that they are patriotic, how do u expect a common and ordinary worker to be patriotic?
