@BraAlex3 It still but tresses my point. Problem with obstetric care. A health centre is under the district hospital, and it be hooves on the referral centre to get to the root of the issue. We can't sit there and be happy about doing 10 emergency C/S a day

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

60 per week, 240 per month, 2880 per year (KATH is doing about 3.4k/year). If you're doing this much, there's question about obstetric care from ANC to labor monitoring.

[Alexxxx @BraAlex3]

Wow
We now have two specialists here in St. Patrick’s and we do roughly 60 caesarean sections weekly
St. Patrick’s hosp has really improved and it’s one of the biggest facilities in Ashanti region. Hopefully no one losses a relative because of “bad system”

There's a certain level of entitlement to just assume that a friend that gave you money will not want it back. People just assume they don't have to pay back. And they'll just ignore it like it's nothing. No effort to even pay in installments.

[Up and nice @upandnice_]

Why are Ghanaians so indiscipline in paying back loans? A Ghanaian is ready to damage a 5 year friendship over a 500cedis loan🤦🏿

@michael_makafui WHO prescribes about 15% C/S rates. Above which it is presumed some C/S were likely avoidable with proper care.
Mind you, physician factors can also heavily spike numbers, especially if you have juniors who want to learn and perfect their skills.

Doctor on call as how🌝

Dr. Agbabiaka, the Dr on call and also the new HO under Dr. Alenibare in the Neurology department, was called at 11:30 pm when the patient had his first seizure episode. The doctor replied, “I cannot share myself into two,” and dropped the call rudely.

Due medications were administered, seizure chart started, patient made comfortable on the bed and under close monitoring.

@KobenaLutterodt The patient load is actually overwhelming. And KATH ED is working way beyond capacity

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

😂😂😂. KATH instead has found a way to make sure that you cannot come there without calling. And national ambulance will not move to KATH without confirmation from them that they are expecting a patient from said facility.

Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare points to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital as an example where patients are attended to without the recurring “no bed syndrome” concerns often reported elsewhere. #Newsfile

@KobenaLutterodt Even with those who are given the greenlight, some still have to wait hours at triage

Your research interest is Neuro, and your wife is also Neuro? I really want to know what you guys talk about at dinner😂😂

@elon_not_musk_ @IAmJohndaddy @_Annikus_ Errrm, it depends on what "stabilise" means. Some include incubating, hours of resuscitation. Stabilise doesn't mean a 5 mins something. So how long it takes to "stabilise" a patient is variable. And giving "drip" doesn't mean patient has been stabilised.

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

@KobenaLutterodt KATH has a policy that NAS knows too well. No inter facility referral without confirmation from our team that we're expecting the case. Should they however bring a roadside case/John doe, KATH accepts. Or, they'll redirect to a facility they know can handle the case.

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

@PerpetualDonko7 The same one. 😂

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

@_edem_edem_ Other ambulances within the region will be called. What that means is longer response time. And should their stretcher also be taken, that means 2 ambulancea temporarily out of service.

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

knows this too well.

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

And another interesting thing is, that strecther can slowly become part of the hospital beds because patients will keep coming, and the beds will never be empty. Ambulance staff have sometimes fought with ED staff to get their stretchers back. Dr. George K Owusu,CEO of NASk

to ambulance because the bed is being used.
Every doctor who has worked in a district ER has a story about calling an ambulance and being told "we currently have no available ambulancea. They are stuck at.... You'll have to call back in an hour".

[LM Yaw Frimpong Serbeh @LmSerbeh]

Errrm, we do use them. A lot. We even use ambulances as extensions of ER. It isn't unheard of the see ambulances lined up at KATH because their stretchers have been "confiscated".
This issue came up once and I remember EDs were told to resist from unofficially"

"decommissioning" ambulances. A stretcher taken means that ambulance is out of service. There isn't a surplus of those beds. So yh, this practice is being done already. And it's not easy for all involved. And the effect ripples down to the next emergency that doesn't have access
