  A Ghanaian father named Kwame Bonsu went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked Kwame Bonsu in the eye, and said, "I've some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. I'd give you two weeks to a month to live." Bonsu was shocked and saddened by the news but was of solid character. He managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room. There, he saw his son who had been waiting. Bonsu said, "Well, son. We Ghanaian celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer, and I've been given a short time to live. Let's head for the Bar and have a few pints." After 3 or 4 pints, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were eventually approached by some of Bonsu's old friends who asked what the two were celebrating. Bonsu told them that the Ghanaian celebrate the good and the bad. He went on to tell them that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, "I've only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with AIDS." The friends gave Bonsu's their condolences, and they had a couple more beers. After his friends left, O'Malley's son leaned over and whispered his confusion. "Dad, I thought you said that you were dying from cancer! You just told your friends that you were dying from AIDS!" Bonsu said, "I am dying of cancer, son. I just don't want any of them sleeping with your mother after I'm gone."

  Not long ago, here on Ghanaweb was this announcement that the NPP wants to build a world-class cancer hospital in Ghana. So what happened to that promise when NHIS is refusing to cover cancer treatment? How will the Government cover cancer treatment when this so called cancer hospital is built?
  
  NPP should stop making more promises, stop talking more but work more. Remember 2020 is right around the corner.

  If such a deadly sickness is threatening the hope and the very survival of Ghana, what should we do to those wickedly greedy people like Woyome, Ibrahim & Dramani Mahama, Kufuor, and many more who are hiding behind some names. I think they should be forced to finance such treatments as their wealth is mostly from dubious means. Is it not sickness that we leave the Chinese miners to take our precious minerals away while our own people steal from state coffers leaving little children at the mercy of curable illness?
