  we are naturally bereft of critical thinking and intelligence that's why you have all these sakawa pastors and churches all over Accra robbing the illiterate and dumb followers! Ghana is retrogressing rapidly with this religious and church nonsense but if you speak a bit of the truth concerning these fake churches and stomach pastors you'll be tagged all sort of names by the blind sheeple who are following these sakawa men of god into hell! Ghana is doomed! it will take generations to get us out of this mess!

  How do we know that medical treatments will save lives? Medical treatments fail every day and even lead to the death of some people. Then there are the many FAKE treatments that keep the capitalist Western medical establishment using African people as Guinea pigs in the name of health.
  
  If you need a job, tell the masses you need a job. Stop assuming that medical interventions are always successful and proven.
  
  In fact, I can prove to you that many medical interventions such as surgery and vaccination lead to immense suffering of patients.

  "A major cause of such situations were as a result of strong adherence to traditional beliefs and practices" (Jeffery Amo-Asare).
  
  If your article is of any real value to traditionalists or even Christians, you would have stated which TRADITIONAL BELIEFS or PRACTICES caused such deaths. You should also have proven beyond ANY DOUBT that worldly medical heathenism would have guaranteed the saving of such lives.
  
  You can fool some people some time, but the Western medical establishment is already known to some of us as a heathen order of specialists out to do one thing: MAKE MONEY!

  This article is a very important statement. Ghana has good laws requiring medical care of children and should enforce them.
  The correct source for the study of 172 U.S. children who died in faith-healing sects is Seth Asser and Rita Swan, “Child fatalities from religion-motivated medical neglect,” Pediatrics 101(April 1998):625-9. It can be read in the Resources section of our webpage, www.childrenshealthcare.org.
