Professor Kwasi Amponsah, no one is against infrastructural development. What we are saying is that all sectors must be developed concurrently. In other words, there has to be a balanced approach.

Vindicated about what? About collapsing our health system? John mahama thought Ghana was the size of Bole never did he think of 10 regions but not a village. He behaves like he never lived in a city before,I don't blame him if he had never lived abroad don't tell me Russia. Everything this man does is virtually wrong. We have Doctors and nurses but when the equipment and working tools are not there how are they going to work? I don't even think our hospitals have gloves on every wall in the hospital or sanitizers how much more machines and what goes with that. Our Doctors and nurses are ready to work if only they would be giving a conducive environment, how can they work from their hearts when their pays and allowances are late? How can they work well in a bad governance? John mahama and his ndc are loot g the country to other countries leaving Ghana to destroy. When did anyone hear of a minister not being paid even for a month? When we live in a country like this being ruled by fools and idiots calling for toaso when the health sector is collapsing then you can see we are behind a jungle.

Until the culture,responsibility and governance over Ghanaian doctors are overhauled, Ghanaians will continue to face these catastrophic medical outcomes/death. Most doctors in Ghana tend to be arrogant, don't understand their role and duty, underfunded, under-trained, lack the proper diagnostic equipment and specialization. Time to rebuild, set and comply with medical protocols, disciplines and goodwill. God help Ghana

Typical Ghanaian doctors who choose to do politics and go on stupid demonstrations to blackmail governments for more more money . They are good for nothing . Bro.take them to court. That is malpractice at its highest firm you don't need hospital bed to attend to emergencies. They doctors ghana do not know what they are doing so they not attend to emergencies to expose their incompetence they rather employ "defensive mechanism" tactics.

its easy to point fingers. my condolences to the dad. we are all victims of the system we all do not fix from the road sweeper to the president, everyone needs to do their job in a dedicated and conscientious way without needing to be bribed first. don't expect somebody else to jump up and do their job when you need them to when you can't be bothered to do yours as you are supposed to wherever you work. we ALL NEED TO CHANGE FOR the good of all.
ALSO IN AN EMERGENCY,you can't be flown out so the politicians better fix the health system : learn lessons, unfortunately, from our last leader.

The National Health Insurance is good but the NPP should have built hospitals like NDC is doing to accommodate the people. Give Mahama the chance to build the Hospital and Roads he is building if you love Ghana.

SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT:

The lies are just too much. Who has better records in infrastructural development.

Interchanges:

NDC in 8 years built just 2 interchanges.
1. Circle Interchange
2. Kasoa Interchange

NPP built 8 in 8 years
1. Tetteh Quashie
2. Madina-Atomic
3. Ofankor
4. Alajo
5. Mallam Interchange
6. Asokwa
7. Asafo
8. Sofo Line

ROAD NETWORK:
Road network at the end of 2000 stood at 37,321 km. The NPP increased it to 68,134 km. As at last year, it stood at 71,063.

The NPP thus added 30,813 km. The NDC as at the end of 2015 had added just 3000 km. source: ghana highways authority.

The NPP did all these with lower taxes and fewer loans without oil revenue. NPP left Ghana's debt at 9 billion cedis and that includes all debt from the days of Nkrumah. NDC has moved the debt in just 8 years from 9 billion to 110 billion in 8 years.
Bg
NPP ruled with a total revenue of just 20 billion, NDC with 240 billion cedis.
Total projects completed by NDC in 8yrs. is less than 37 billion dollars by the green book but have borrowed over 100 billion dollars excluding tax revenue and oil money.
I think our country deserved better leaders to utilise our scarce resources effectively and stop unnecessary borrowing.

THE WAY FORWARD AFTER NANA AKUFO ADDO IS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT OF GHANA.

Part 1 (GAINING GROUNDS IN GOVERNMENT / SUSTAINING OUR CONTROL OF NPP)

It is important to realize that our very political survival depends on how we handle power and ensure that the name Nana Akufo Addo, in Ghana political history and in that of NPP and our tradition, becomes a second pillar to Dankwa, much bigger than Busia, Dombo and Agyekum Kufour. This must be done on two fronts; first, Akufo Addo government must perform very well in all sectors, but must do way more than Mahama in terms of infrastructural development. If we must take a sincere look at building of infrastructure under Mahama we would realize that the President has lifted up the challenge bar extremely high. So infrastructural development is one thing we must influence future Akufo Addo cabinet to be mindful of. The second way to achieve this is the most important of all; enriching our own as both Kufour and Mahama have done in the case of Chief Kufour and Ibrahim Mahama respectively.

At all cost, Ken Ofori Atta, Nana Asante Bediatuo and Gabby Otchere Darko shall build financial empire by giving them absolute control over all significant government contracts. They will again be responsible for investigating and re-awarding of all existing contracts. Nana Addo’s control of NPP has been possible and sustained by the works of the three, especially, Gabby. Nana Addo himself has asked that we include Kennedy Agyapong, but he is an Assin man and he will forever remain Assin , not Akyem. Since we cannot also ignore Nana Addo’s request we must measure and control Ken Agyapong’s financial rise, because we can never tell when he may look the other way and turn against us even though he has been with us for long. It is not enough to enrich our own three and end it there; we must also check and, as far as it cannot be seen as witch haunting, cut down the financial strength of Chief Kufour, Ibrahim Mahama, Kwadwo Mpiani, Richard Anane and Paul Afoko.

It is of extreme importance that we put Papa Kwesi Ndum and Kwabena Duffour in continuous check and control their financial growth. The records and evidence show that Ndum and Duffour would rather side with others and not Nana Akufo Addo, hence, the need to cut their business down to size while we prepare our own to overtake them in financial growth.

As for Alan Kyerematen, his popularity, once more, has surged up both within the party and the country. In all honesty, he has made so much gains for Nana Akufo Addo and our 2016 campaign so we must be careful dealing with him. In spite of the good works by Alan, he remains the number one threat with the potential to stand in the way of Ken Offori Atta becoming President after Nana Addo. Since “one district one factory” is Alan’s own idea and in fact, he is the one going to lead that project, we may cause trouble for Akufo Addo’s government if we discredit Alan in the early days of the administration. We shall therefore not touch Alan in the first 2 years into Nana Addo’s first term, but plans must be made to force corruption allegations on Alan’s neck after the first 2 years and destroy him for good. This can be done neatly without traces, we only must buy agents from NPP to start this and pay our NDC friends to give it life.

Part 2 (CHECKING THE RISE OF ASHANTI)

Our number one pursuit to cut the forever growing wings of the so-called Asantehene, Osei Tutu 11, has been a very long struggle. We cannot be satisfied with the little done against him and we cannot end here, we thus must resource our agents in Kumasi, especially, those at the central market to keep up their work of creating hatred between the people of Ashanti region and their so-called King.

Since we have been able to render Kufour and his Ashanti boys toothless and useless even in NPP, there is no point wasting time on them when we win this election. Instead, we shall focus on the Ashanti Chiefs particularly the Offinso-manhene. This can be achieved by the old same strategy; recruit and pay agents to label Ashanti chiefs as NDC, let the ordinary Ashanti man understand that their chiefs are against their own party NPP and they will hate the chiefs forever.

Again, we must sow seed of disunity among the chiefs of Ashanti. Osei Tutu has been emboldened and made powerful because Ashanti chiefs are united behind him. Most of the chiefs are poor and we can elevate them financially and influence them at all cost. It will be disastrous to touch the individual Ashanti businessmen who stay in the region and conduct their business over there. Rather, we shall prepare a comprehensive programme that will check their spare parts business, those owners of big schools and hotels in the region and make sure we are not so much threatened.

Part 3 (PROJECT / PROTECT OKYEMAN)

The first and most important objective of Akufo Addo government, as agreed upon, is to project and protect Okyeman; make our prestigious and present Okyehene the most powerful and mighty King of the nation Ghana. This is exactly what we were made for as people of the Great Akyem land, to lead as we showed during the birth of our nation Ghana so we cannot and must not trail behind slaves and servants. To achieve this we have to first influence and bring Kotoku and Bosome under the firm control of Abuakwa Kingdom. Plans to enrich Abuakwa Kingdom have been thought out and discussed into details.

For Abuakwa Kingdom to have a place at the seat of government and feel safe, Okyehene must win the hearts and friendship of the Ga Chiefs. Akufo Addo government cannot directly achieve this, so as possible, Okyehene must be well resourced to fill up the stomach of Ga chiefs to bring them under cordial control. Not only that, efforts must be made to incite Ga chiefs and their people against Ashantis and the people of Kwahu who are busily grabbing their lands.

All the powerful Chiefs in the Eastern region of various tribal backgrounds will be presented with extraordinary financial package to come on board. They will have to stand with Abuakwa Kingdom in all national and local matters. If they reject our package of prosperity, we will have to isolate them and cut them down to their size.

We can always have our way in the three northern regions, Brong Ahafo, Western and Central regions. The ones we can hardly trust are the Volta chiefs. Togbe Afede and individuals like the Ahois, the Tsikatas, and the Okudzetos must always be checked. We cannot deal with the Ewe and Anlo people without touching probably the biggest and the most powerful Nyaho Tamakloe family. This must be achieved within our first term as we are not sure of what happens after Nana Akufo Addo’s first term.

If any of us thinks this is difficult and dangerous path, I agree, but we should reflect on our history and know that our fore bearers took much more difficult and dangerous decisions in the Gold Coast struggles before the descendants of Akyem Abuakwa were considered first class citizens of Ghana. Our plan is to take over NPP and remain prominent and makers in Ghanaian politics for the next 30years, failure to accomplish this may render Akyem Abuakwa left-behind or lost-out. Our Ancestors were served as kings and queens, our forefathers were served, we have been served, and so our children and great grandchildren must be served by others through our efforts today.

This is a very sad case. My sympathy to the Father.

I greatly suspect potential complication from previous surgery.

1.I would have required follow up earlier.
2.I would have triage this critical boy to at least to stabilize him.
3. Discharge stable patients from ER to the floor or discharged from floor to home then admit him and call surgical consult.
4. However, the fact still remains that there are No systems or tools in Ghanaians hospitals. The politicians are calling the shots then pocket money needed for upgrades.

President Mills bled to death because of poorly equipped hospitals Emergency departments.

PV Obeng deid similarly.

The politicians think they can go outside the country for better healthcare but wait till emergency happens to one of them one-by-one.

Please vote wisely on Tuesday. God bless.

These public medical centres and their personnel in Ghana are so disgusting in their lack of HR skills. Negligence and the absence to do the right thing at the right time result in unnecessary deaths that could be easily prevented. It is about time legal actions are initiated against these Ghanaian doctors and the hospitals. They must be taught bitter lessons to put them on their toes. At the moment they get away with murder and impunity. Same thing happened to my late son at 37 MH.

Have u seen how ur stupid pepeni presidents is.instead of him working to putting up facilities such as hospital beds,oxygen,dialysis machines,paying doctors nd nurses on time,filling potholes on our roads,providing all the exiting boarding schools with various amentities etc etc.he is rather building schools,constructing flyovers,putting up estates like the newly constructed estate in accra etc.he doesnt think about those old nd existing hosptials like 37 korle bu etc.what a shame.Even in these govt hospital they will waste all ur time without even been attended to.most doctors nd nurses dont hav passion for their job.they ar only been a doctor for their own reasons.i remembered a friend who is a nurse told me she doesnt like her job but due to d high rise of unemployment for university graduates she opted for nursing in order to get a job .anyway i think the father should sue korle bu.may ur son's soul rest in peace.
