  Why do you think ministers come to UK when they are not well.If you ply with Ghanaian doctors they will kill you.Even if they are not familiar with a procedure they will force and do it killing people in the process.Key hole surgery alone is killing people just like that.We all know the risk is excessive bleeding but they will perform the procedure without a back surgical team so one small problem will kill you.Here we use things like Tranexamic acid but in Ghana they will just give you K and watch youbleed to death.

  I think they should go and recruit fishermen to carry out the work if they will continue to deny people access to medical school.this is absolute nonsense.

  Quote:"Dr Tamakloe, explaining the issue of the inadequate number of health practitioners particularly neurosurgeons, stated that the long training period could be a reason why there are very few studying neurosurgery." What Dr Tamakloe is partial through. The main reason for the lack of enough Doctors is that the heads of medical schools are trying to restrict the intake making the field like is above the world. These three branches: Engineering, Law and Medicine takes just about the same amount of time to gain in depth experiences. The only reasons why doctors stay in their residency is that they can only get access to humans and equipment at few locations.

  Many young doctors lacks directions in their field. To be a neurosurgeon take time dedication and tenacity to reach there.

  Ghana lacks a lot of things. Including neurosurgeons.
  Seriously?
  So out of the tall list the only thing you can see is neurosurgeons?
  What about portable drinking water over a million of our population?
  How about congested prison?
  How about over a million people who lack access to healthcare out of which hundreds die everyday?
  How about the over a millions Ghanaians who are hungry and food poor?
  How about our villages that are without general hospitals?
  How about universal access to quality healthcare including general hospital instead of CHIPs compounds without doctors?
  How about over a million Who are plagued with diabetes and hypertension?
  How about over the million deaths on our roads because of the disease called illiteracy?
  And all you can see is neurosurgery?
  How many Ghanaians need neurosurgery or die because they did not have access to neurosurgeons?
