How about the minister act in the interest of Ghanaians by ensuring they receive basic human dignity while accessing healthcare.

[Alfred @CallmeAlfredo]

Lots of paragraphs, but nothing to show that the President’s directive was accompanied by concrete measures to improve the hospital’s operational capacity and ensure that people seeking emergency care are not turned away.

You cannot impose an operating standard by fiat on an already strained healthcare facility, fail to provide the resources, personnel, and systems needed to meet that standard, and then expect miracles. Healthcare outcomes are shaped by capacity, not administrative fiat.

Ghanaian doctors move to better-resourced health systems and perform exceptionally well. That should tell us something. The problem is often not the competence or commitment of healthcare workers. Fix the systemic challenges, provide the necessary support, and stop treating individual healthcare workers as convenient scapegoats for broader institutional failures.

[Speedy Gonzales @ato_qwam3na]

If you cared about patient safety you wouldn’t ask doctors to treat them on the floor of the hospitals because “no patient should be turned away”

[Eva Goodbody @MzInterkudzi]

Will amy of the politicians agree to be nursed in a chair or on the floor if they were ill? Why then should that be the fate of the ordinary Ghanaian? We need to demand better for ourselves

[SALTPOND TIGERWOOD @Arthurockgh]

Lmao, hospital no be some mechanic shop where you can just keep parking more cars. Hospitals deal with limited beds, staff, equipment, infection control em protocols, emergency priorities and risks with every patient they admit.
So before concluding that the directive was simply disobeyed, shouldn't we ask what systems were put in place to support it?

If the order is that no patient should be turned away, what has government done since issuing that directive? Have more hospitals been built? Have emergency holding facilities been created? Has capacity been expanded?
Make everybody kmfd plus this weird rhetoric

[Dr. Amanski @dr_amanski]

This antagonistic approach from the Health Minister towards health workers is really not advisable. They go to the Europe/US to receive healthcare, then mess the system up for the average Ghanaian. A time is coming even to find a Dr to antagonise will be impossible. Toaso wai

[A. T. K ⚕️ @atkkay]

This is sad tbh

Goes to show it could be 2056, nearing retirement and we could still be dealing with no bed syndrome. Worse? some twitter agenda boy could be your health minister and be summoning you to explain why you can’t admit more

You could never see LVAD in your life!

As much as you guys are obsessed with the idea that smart people don’t study, I’m here to tell you they do. They study like mad.

I love how something can be the BIGGEST problem in your life and 6 months pass and you legitimately cannot even remember how bad of a problem it was 🤣

I think Medicine would be really enjoyable without the numerous inadequacies we encounter in the system.

[sourdough @whorehubhai]

that part of exam prep when u just give up and go on a walk outside to connect with the nature and act like you are gonna die soon

[Sank, MD @pagingdrsank]

The Pitt is disrespectful to OBGYNs. Lmao. First season, they acted like they’d deliver a shoulder dystocia by themselves & NOW, an eclamptic patient + bedside csection in the ER with NO OBGYN present in a major hospital?! Someone get me the writers number bc I have words to say!

[Scribe Girl @her_eloquence]

Fiction, Yes.

Academic, not likely.
