Doctors in hospitals in the country are supposed to conduct mortality meetings. At such weekly meetings mortalities(deaths) of patients are discussed and health personnel questioned. Reports indicate that less than 10 hospitals in the country have been conducting such meetings.
Sources say hospitals like KATH have not done that for the past 16 years

The MOH has chalked successes but its ineptitude in this regard is totally mind boggling.

"When Two Elephants fight,its the grass that suffers"How Mr Vanderpuye and My Nyantakyi are behaving,this is how the rest of the results will look like...players aint motivated to play(slashed bonuses)...Avram Grant Dont even have money to go scouting,...i wonder who paid their fare if it was the sports ministry they must have flown to Russia by below average budget airlines sitting like sardines because Honourable Mr Vanderpuye wants to show who the boss is.This man thinks he is untouchable.he will spoil Ghana football then what will we have?.
Unless one of these two is SACKED there will be no peace..there cant be any negotiations.
Am not a fan of kwesi Nyantaky,infact i was sad when he was appointed in May 2011....i cried when Avram Grant was appointed as the stars coach(he is rubbish).....i cry myself to sleep ever since Edwin Nii Lanted Vanderpuye was made sports minster in march 2015......am still crying as i type because he is still at his post ...agyeiii agyeiii

Are you sure you watched this Ghana/Russia football match? What's your definition of a better side? If you mean ball possession that is full of back passes and aimless running then you are right. The Russians didn't see the need to battle us for the ball because we weren't doing anything threatening when we had the ball. And they could outwit our defense at anytime so they let us have the ball. You know, the game would've been 3-0 had Boye not make two goal-line clearances. Goal keeping was horrible. Defense was non-existent. Forget about the midfield and forward too. We just have average players, who can run around but not creative and skillful enough. The coaching also need to improve. We have a horrible team, plain and simple.

This was a typicial Ghana game. Ghana has won games like this. For instance the 1-0 win against Serbia in 2010 at the WC had the same type of feel. The difference here was that Russia slipped that goal in and there was no penalty calls for Ghana. (Ghana probably could have had two penalty shots in this game). Without Gyan or Dede we simply have trouble scoring so the performance did not surprise me. Our only hope is that Gyan stays healthy enough for these upcoming qualifiers and the AFCON. We need to find new striking talent. If it means finding a foreign born Ghanaian who is still eligible so be it. I feel like even Sapong from the MLS would do more than Jordan. I think the goal here is to recruit a solid striker really quickly. Jordan is more of a winger or even an emergency right back but I just do not see him as the answer in the 4-2-3-1 formation that was used today.

THEY SHOULD GO BACK N WATCH VIDEO OF HOW BSTARS USED TO PLAY IN WCUP 2006. THE NEED TO CONTROL BALL WITH CONFIDENCE, PLAY 2/3 TOUCH N MOVE THE BALL. GRANT IS LAZY N CLUELESS. THE FIRST 25MINUTES GH DIDNT MAKE ANY INROADS INTO THE RUSSIAN 18 OR 6YD BOX N THIS OLD FOOL WAS JUST SITTING THERE PLAYING BODY LANGUAGE TRICKS EVERYTIME THE CAMERA CUT TO HIM...THIS FOOL SAID" I HAVE ALL THE PLAYERS I NEED" REALLY? LOOK, MR. JEW IF U TAKE THIS TEAM TO AFCON U WONT WIN THE TROPHY. THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO BUILD FROM DEFENCE TO MIDFIELD. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO CREATE SCORING CHANCES FROM THE WINGERS INTO THE 18 AND 6YD BOXES. THE WINGERS DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT A 45DEGREE AND 90DEGREE ANGLE PASS IS. THE 8 AND 6 DONT UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY NEED TO POSITION THEMSELVES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 90DEGREE PASSES IN AND AROUDN THE 18. ITS A MESS....ADVICE: JUST GO BACK T THE WCUP 2006 N LEARN HOW TO BUILD UP. GRANT ONLY HAS TO DO 3 THINGS
1. TEACH THE BOYS HOW TO CREATE SCORING CHANCES IN THE FINAL 3RD.
2. U NEED TO HAVE 2 STARTERS FOR EACH POSITION N THAT INCLUDES GIVING ALL OTHERS A HSOT OTHERWISE KISS THE AFCON TROPHY GOODBYE. ATSU IS NOT A RIGHT WINGER. ONLY A FOOLISH COACH WILL USE ATSU AS A RIGHT WINGER. IF HE WONT PLAY 8/10 DROP HIM. JORDAN MUST BE DROPPED. AFFUL IS NOT A STARTER. WHERE IS NKUM? BOYE MUST BE DROPPED. WHERE IS GYIMAH OR NII ADJEI. ACQUAH IS NOT A STARTER. WHERE IS BADU? WAKASO IS MY MAN OF THE GAME FOR GH. HE CAN PLAY 8/6...WHO IS OUR BACKUP LEFTBACK? THESE FAIRWEATHER PLAYERS IN FAIRWEATHER POSITIONS IS NOT GOING TO HELP THE TEAM. PICK PLAYERS WITH SPECIALIZED SKILLSET FOR EACH POSITION. THATS HOW U ACHIEVE SUCCESS. GH PLAYED BADLY....RUSSIAN JUST SAT BACK N COUNTERED. IF GH BUILDUP WAS GOOD, WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE GOAL. BOYE N MENSAH MUST NEVER, EVER PLAY TOGETHER. MENAH WANTS TO DO EVERTHING, WHICH IS NOT HIS POSITION N BOYE IS TOO LAZY TO PLAY HIS NATURAL 4 SO U ALWAYS HAVE FRICTION. AMARTEY IS A BETTER 4. NII ADJEI IS A BETTER 4, GYIMAH IS A BETTER 4...WHERE R THEY? TOO MAY QUESTION MARKS FROM BSTARS

In soccer, you play to score goals and win. it is not a game of showmanship. In the sixties when we had Baba Yara, Frank Odoei, Mfum and others, they play to score goals and can even spell the name of the country they were playing through the numbers of goals scored. Showmanship does not win games. The type of football being played these days does not entertain me. I want see goals scored not how long the ball is possessed by each team. Ghana needs a coach who is goal oriented than how long you can possess the ball.

Kwarasey is always vunerable to such goals cause he does not like diving for the ball on the ground. That's how the USA scored in Brazil in 33 seconds. Looks like they studied his style on video before this game.

People are not realistic. Even mid-range European teams are a challenge for us so a 1-0 loss in Moscow can be swallowed for now. I think that type of friendly makes us stronger for African competition. We need more of those. This was one of those games where we figured out who belongs and who does not. Certainly, Jordan will not be starting anymore and in spite of a couple of mistakes by Kwarsey, he did make some saves that Razak would not have made. We have to stick with Kwarsey.

Na true. Long balls only when there is a clear advantage for a quick counter. The "bum bum bum" way of playing is over. Barcelona/Arsenal come to mind. Put the ball on the ground as a Nigerian would say, "ball na ground".

So I went a watched a replay of the game and Jordan Ayew should never lead our striking force. He has a I don't care attitude and not hungry. Kwara did well contrary to comments that I read earlier. More to come

The major problem is up front. There was a particular pass that was led to him and either he could not catch up to it or he gave up on it. It was the kind of pass that big time strikers chase down and put in the goal. I like Jordan but he is simply not a forward. Kwarasey may not be world class but he is the best that we have and he is playing regularly at his club. He made some mistakes but also made some saves that Razak would not have made.
