'The conclusion that doctors failed in their duty cannot be made in isolation without first understanding the state of emergency bed availability, staffing pressure, and the absence of a coordinated national referral system at the time of the incident.'— Former Health Minister Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye.

I am going to ignore the “menace” part.
When we say “the system,” it can sound abstract until the system happens to you.
The system is when you arrive at an emergency unit and there are no gloves or emergency drugs.
The system is when someone has a heart attack and the ambulance does not arrive on time or there are no defibrillators.
The system is when a patient needs critical care and the family is told there are only a few functioning ICU beds.
The system is when your wife needs an emergency caesarean section and you are told the available theatres are occupied.
The system is when referral depends on phone calls, personal contacts, and luck.
The system is when health workers are expected to deliver the standard of care without the tools required to deliver that standard.
This is not an excuse for negligence.
Doctors, nurses, and paramedics must be accountable where duty is breached.
But the country must also be accountable for the conditions under which care is delivered.
Ghanaian-trained doctors perform exceptionally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other systems because those systems support standard of care with equipment, staffing, protocols, supervision, and escalation pathways.
They did not suddenly become competent at the airport.
The environment changed.
I have had my fair share of “the system.”
I sincerely hope you never experience it.
Because when the system fails you, the debate stops being theoretical.
