Ghana hospitals are in deplorable condition. No running water, no gloves or medicines, overcrowded, power outages, etc. Only the elite like this king can afford to seek good healthcare abroad.

Oh, Oh, yes, there are best Doctors and yes, there are absolute competent Doctors in Ghana. But the mere problem is the lacking of advance hospital equipment. The elites in Ghana to day just projecting status of richness.
Please, be proud of what had been built in the past and continued improving until all is up to date.
How could a country like Ghana develop, when the rich spent most of their money, attending and paying hospital fees in other countries?
The message to the middle and lower Ghanaians is, you are doomed whenever got sick, simple because may be Ghana hospitals are worth the money spent to built it.
If the above statements are wrong, than how came all so called elites members of Ghana engaged in tripe to SA for medical assessment?
Make a change if you can!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you completely. So far as the political elite and the rich and powerful in the country can hop on a plane and go to Britain, USA and South Africa for their healthcare (obviously at the tax-payer's expense), there will be no incentive for them to modernise and improve the health care in the country. It is truly pathetic that fifty years after independence the Asantehene and the President of the country, and for that matter anybody who is somebody in the country, have to go to another country to get a "routine medical chech-up".

The arguments about the status of our hospitals and the fact that elites in our society always go abroad for 'Check-Up' etc. are very important. I wish Otumfuo would be reading this or his secretaries would and inform him. If the whole point is that Ghanaian Hospitals are not GOOD ENOUGH, what about using the money from the Royalties on Gold etc. to develop the Okomfo Anokye Hospital into a First Class Medical outfit to rival those abroad?. First, it will elevate the name of Okomfo Anokye further. After all, he was the 'Spiritual Father' of the Asante Nation. Secondly, it will attract 'Elite Patients' from other parts of Africa and the world. I am pretty sure there are enough Ghanaian Doctors with the requisite skills and experience to man and modern hospital! One point that baffles me is that the so-called developed nations who are always seeking to send us aid and loans do not encourage us to develop our own facilities. What about these nations denying our elites visas when they apply to travel for medical treatment asking them to upgrade our own hospitals?! Where do most of the wealth looted by our political elites go? Banks in these same developed nations!. No questions are asked!
But what am I talking about? In a pure Capitalist Economy that has a stranglehold on the world, the most essential thing is the PROFIT without any 'Ethical Principles'! If it were not so, the suggestion above would really show that the developed world seriously want us also to develop. May God help us and forgive me for my naivety.

I agree with you. We have all our leaders leaving the country and going to the USA, UK or South Africa just for medical check-ups. And these heartless leaders are not even ashamed of their wicked ways.

The President leaves the Country for another country for medical check-up and we the people are not even told of the country he went or how many days he spent there. We are always lied to. Those who have the courage to ask are insulted by sycophants.

The Leader of the Opposition leaves for medical check-up and had stayed in that country for almost a year controlling his party remotely from other country. He even has ladies club formed for him to enjoy himself there. His followers will insult you if you were to ask why he has been there for so long but they are quick to find out why the president is away somewhere. Silly parochial and partisan politics destroying my good country.

The MPs and the Ministers leave the country for another country to have their medical check-ups. The no-gooders have the right to leave the country at will for no reasons. Some even leave to have their babies in county hospitals at the mercy of some people, including the homosexuals that they so despise. And that reminds of the Nigerian MPs...flocking to NYCity to have the babies of their numerous girlfriends.

The Pastors of the mega-churches leave the country for another country to have their medical check-ups. Yes, they can even pray to cure HIV/AIDS, but very quick to leave the land for advanced country for their medical check-ups. And not only their medical check-ups, but to have properties in these foreign countries just like political counterparts and to have foreign papers also.

And the KINGS (not the village chiefs) leave the country for another country for the medical check-ups.

The good PEOPLE of GHANA are the losers here. They are the only one that can't leave the country for their medical check-ups; they have been left out of the equation. Yet, in a democratic country, the Government should be BY the people, OF the people and FOR the people.

But what do I see in Kumasi now? The people who have been left out of the equation are the ONES leaving their houses and throwing their cloths on the ground for the KING to walk on and that reminds me when Kotoko came to relax in boarding school before their match. We the Kumapim fans took our white bed sheets and placed them on the ground from the bus to their assigned rooms, just to annoy the Phobian guys in school. Oh boy, we were stupid but we were so happy that day. That is what is happening at Kumasi now. Stupidly and sheepishly, the people are singing hossana, hossana to the highest to the the King who selfishly abandoned them and placed his own health interests above theirs. Why do I say this?

The Ashanti Region is the only region on NHIS capitation; it has been on the a pilot program for years. This is probably the only pilot program in the whole world that has gone on for years without end in sight. Yet, Nana Kwaku Duah could care less about that; I am yet to hear him raising his voice against undemocratic barbaric act by these crooks in NDC as he did sometime ago against the Techimanhene on Chieftaincy issues.

Very disgraceful and despicable, if you ask me.

Nana Asantehene, How are you doing? Are there no doctors in Ghana who are better equipped with modern medical technology and knowledge for you to travel to SA for checkup and squander the funds which could have been used by a fellow Ghanaian? I can recommed 100 doctors who are as equally good as doctors in South Africa. Do not disgrace our doctors because when Mr. Death knocks on your door, whether you have a doctor from another planet HE will take you away without protest.

That man went to South Africa for medical checkup and rested on the dime of poor people in the Ashanti Region. He does not deserve any such fanfare. This posture of drooling at our chiefs, corrupt politicians and cantankerous pastors and bishops is the reason Ghana never moves forward.

Its no nice to call our doctors bogus when u have no fact to prove such. lets mind our choice of words. thank you

What a shame! With all the talk and the opulence, the Asante Kingdom cannot build a first class mini hospital for their Kingdom. I cannot understand all the show of the Asantehene and yet he goes to South Africa for a medical check up. Just think about it. What does this speak about us. The same thing goes with the President of and all the Ministers. This is insane and shameful.

Shame unto us. Can't we bring SA to Ghana? Some people in SA put their healthcare onto the pedestal where it has become admirable and dependable for our rich and opulent leaders. Why can't we replicate this? Otumfuor is one of the remost influential 10 people in Ghana without any doubt/ argument. He should be talking to the Ghanaian leaders to ensure that next time he does not go to Britain or SA but to Okomfo Anokye.

What is disturbing is that the so -called leadership in Ghana, have not made quality health care available in Ghana. They have to go outside the country for healthcare. We are in trouble.

A leader should lead by example. Why does he have to go to South Africa for medical check up? By so doing he is disrespecting his own people who have to use the medical facilities here. Ghanaian leaders have all become demagogues while some of the people defend them. Rousing welcome for him? What has he done for Asantes to deserve that?

The most disgraceful and most pathetic paramount chief in Ghana at the moment. He has so disgraced the Golden Stool that every Tom, Dick and Harry feels free to insult him. Yet no one dared to do this during the days of Prempeh 11 and Opoku Ware 11. Those were the days when the Asantehene WAS the Asantehene. Certainly not this current occupant of Okomfo Anokye/ Osei Tutu's Golden Stool.
