SHS at Fiapre near Sunyani on Friday embarked on a demonstration

Fiapre (B/A) Oct. 16, GNA – Students of Notre Dame Senior High School (SHS) at Fiapre near Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region, on Friday embarked on a demonstration to protest the untimely death of their colleague.

Ms. Louisa Amoah, a third-year business student of the SHS, was alleged to have died after two weeks of illness at the school.

A section of the students, who spoke to Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Fiapre, alleged that Ms. Amoah died because authorities of the school refused to grant her permission to attend hospital because she did not possess a National Health Insurance card.

They claimed that for the two weeks when Ms. Amoah was ill, she could not eat and at a point her friends had to assist the student to take her bath, and the school authorities compelled her to undergo treatment at the school’s sick bay.

When GNA visited the school, there was no teaching or learning as all the students had left the campus, and when Madam Margaret Lucy Donkor, headmistress of the school, was contacted on phone, she said: “Please I can’t give any comment. At the moment I am at the morgue at the Regional Hospital in Sunyani”.
