The hardest part of being a doctor is seeing how many patients suffer because of poverty, not pathology.
You can treat TB with drugs.
But you can’t treat the fact that the patient sleeps in a 10x10 room with 6 family members and no ventilation.

For humanity sake. Help save this young child battling with Kidney disease. It won't cost a thing for you to repost it until he gets the needed help.
Show a little kindness!
In any society, a minister of state saying in parliament, pompous and unashamed, that healthcare provided on the floor is good enough, should bring up so much vitriol from the people.
There's zero dignity in that kind of language.
Ironically,many older folks are totally missing her obvious sarcasm!
Intergenerational illiteracy is as real as a widened generation gap.
Each previous generation thinks of the next generation exactly the same way it is thinking of a current generation.
You hear feminism and think “Anti-men” because your entitled mind thinks a woman should exist for you. You do not see her an entity deserving of autonomy as you do. May God open your eyes.
Akandoh (Bakayoko), when he assumed the role of health minister in 2025, outlined his brilliant strategies to curb the health professions' backlog:
'we'll employ the health professionals gradually. We'll export them abroad. About 13 countries have shown interest. we'll even train more specialists in crash programs at UCC."
Akandoh in 2026 is suggesting a reduction of admissions to health training institutions to solve the backlog. He has moved from "let's employ and export" to "let's stop training."
Technically, this is healthcare system collapse disguised as policy.
Here's why:
You have 74,000+ unemployed health professionals. reducing admissions doesn't employ them; it just means fewer trained professionals entering a system that's already hemorrhaging staff.
The backlog requires ABSORPTION of existing professionals, not supply reduction.
If you can't employ the 74,000+, reducing new graduates won't magically create jobs for them.
It just compounds the shortage.
Akandoh promised solutions when he assumed the Health Minister role; he's now proposing SURRENDER.
Dear Xenophobic South Africans 🇿🇦,
For those of you who foolishly think you don’t have your people in other countries, and that even if you do, they are all staying there legally,
On March 1, 2026, 63 South Africans were deported from Ireland to South Africa.
This operation was carried out by the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
10 (~16%) of the deportees were convicted of offences in Ireland.
This is how civilised countries handle illegal immigration.
The country doesn’t allow citizens to behave like animals, go around beating up anyone who doesn’t speak their language, loot their shops, and dehumanise them, as is happening in South Africa.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
Hundreds of thousands of South Africans live and work in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US and across Europe. Thousands more live and work across Africa, including Ghana, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Nigeria, Kenya and Mozambique. They leave for better opportunities, safer communities and a higher quality of life.
Nobody asks them why they didn’t stay and fix South Africa first.
So your questions are foolish.
People move because they believe they can build a better life elsewhere. South Africans do it. Ghanaians do it. Americans do it. Brits do it. Nigerians do it. Everyone does it.
Wanting immigration laws enforced is a legitimate call but chasing people through the streets and beating them up because they’re foreigners is animalistic. No human being with a working brain will do that.
So, are you a human being with a working brain?
You don't look like a Supreme Court justice to me.
Between being accused and being convicted, there's a river called justice. Learn to respect it a little before passing judgment.
What is despicable are superficial judgments like yours.
As for Ghana Tech de33! At least appreciate the effort the guy put in all the way from PRESEC to NSMQ to MIT to Google!
Presec is the most difficult school to get in, NSMQ team hardest to get in Ghana, MIT is hardest engineering school to get in, Google is very difficult to land a role there! The point is he has shown grit and determination over the years!
We don’t care whether he is editing buttons or not! Maybe the kind of button he edits might be the hardest button to edit ✍️! Perspectives may vary but let’s learn to appreciate people for the paths and stop the bini show here 👋
