That a "professional" would be this careless....why not, we live in a culture where there's bounds for anything...
"...there's NO bounds...."
Why professionals don't make mistakes? Are they super human beings? Even the president of a nation does mistakes. Don't throw the first stone please.
W'abodam ankasa...
When you suspend this doctor then who will attend to a poisoned thief like John Kumah at Suhum junction on his way to Chokor Polyclinic?
this type is unacceptable. she should be fired outright. she accepted a non disclosure conditions the day she swore that oath to be a doctor
Ei Ghanaians and hypocrisy. A patient is rushed to a hospital after a near fatal accident. The doctor treating him invites people to pray for him becos he 'ain't looking good' and this calls for her suspension and cancelation ...

The usual foolishness of Ghanaians. Just because she said we should pray for him , it’s okay to breach patient respect for privacy and confidentiality. Thus mindset is killing the nation. Oh thou fools. Those who are religi ...

I support your position. Just because a person calls for prayer doesn't mean she has a right to violate the all-important "doctor-patient confidentiality" or code of ethics.
Everyone makes mistakes. She is not a super human being and therefore could make mistakes.
However, was EUGENE on drugs. Why ram your car into a parked car. It’s not forgivable in many countries.
The police will cite you ...

Never employ Muslims. Islam is pure evil.
Please please please this is a hate speech. Tribal bigotry is totally unacceptable.
U will suffer the consequences of ur hate speech with your entire generation u thoughtless mongrel
That's a stupid comment, think before you write. Idiot!
How do you know she is a Muslim? There are people called Amina, Saratu, Mohammed etc, who are Christians. So what if she is a Muslim anyway? This misconduct has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with human discipline.
BLAME BORLAWEB (A DUTCH OWNED TABLOID) FOR ALLOWING THIS IMBECILE TO CONTINUE SPEWING HIS VITRIOL ON HERE. ONE DAY BORLAWEB WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THAT DAY IS CLOSE!
May the curse of Allah be upon you.
Wasted sperm. Product of bustard.
The name for medical doctors and members of the GMA should be
Dr (Med) Amina Harroun.
Even if she didn't know the right where to write her name, her supervisors should have assisted her.
IF GHANA PRACTICED PROFESSIONAL ETHICS, AKUFO-ADDO, OFORI-ATTA AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS IN GHANA GOVERNMENT AND ITS FOREIGN MISSIONS WOULD BE SERVING PRISON TERMS LONG AGO.
A deserving suspicion! Salary due her during her 3 months of suspension should be used to buy food items for the Osu children’s home!
It's 'suspension' and not 'suspicion'
Nabil..lol.
Wow achieved she her aim of seekn attention n n laughing at the,punishment attention seeking is also a disease affecting many,she should seek another psychologist for help with that,that is what caused her to go and post,wha ...

Medic suffering corona vaccine applications!
Also,your dumb ass can be sued.
How can a whole psychotherapist or psychologist, stoop this low? This is not only ridiculous and silly but totally unprofessional. No health facility should employ you for disclosing the medical record of a patient. What ha ...

Reckless and stupid, you are a medical doctor not a journalist. Three months suspension is a slap on the wrist. Shameful display of Unethical and unprofessional behavior.
This is another reason why politicians and celersties dont like seeking help from Ghanaian hospitals!!
Nowadays, everyone desires to document events and become viral bloggers on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Instead of offering assistance when someone is in need, people often prioritize recording with their ph ...

It's something that is going on all over in health facilities in Ghana. People are diagnosed with a particular disease, for instance AIDS, before they get home it is in the community. We are hearing this suspension because it ...

I remember Ebony's sad mishandling at the morgue....
Social media Babies
They post anything
They always want to be the first to post something no matter how weird
Disgrace to the medical profession
Dr.Amina, your letter is riddled with grammatical errors. I am not surprised you made such a mistake. You need to take some English lessons.
I would suggest to you to use the app 'Grammarly' to assist you in your write up.
My thoughts have been expressed here. A medical Dr writing such bad grammar?
Use the three months to polish your grammar
I dove my hat for UGMC for suspending this reckless doctor. When is the average Ghanaian ever going to be disciplined in the discharge of his/her professional duties?
I am even surprised that she did not add tha picture or the video.
21st century children
This story is totally FALSE. UGMC has no Medical Officer by this name; neither has any staff of the Centre disclosed a client's medical records for which s/he has was/has been suspended.
Ghanaweb, you could have done better ...

Pampered Muslim Facebook doctor who paid herself through medical school. Apart from Facebooking, she uses half of the day washing her anus in the name of their stupid prayers
These slips are what some false prophets jump on to make their false prophecies. Let's forgive her youthful exuberance. She will learn from her suspension. Wish Kwami Eugene speedy recovery.
Where was she trained? I guess in one of the newly established universities where money, money only is the MOTIVE. Make sure she doesn't see the inside of the facility again.
Mama Amina, forget the shit. What difference is it, when a patient's health condition is made known to the public ?. Is the said musician God ?.
Forget the shit. TOFIAKWA. Mama, your salary for the 3 months is sorted. You w ...

So you should pick up the payment of her wages while she remains on suspension. By so doing the world will know what you stand for on issues of oath of secrecy and confidentiality.
Mistakes are made for lessons to be learned, really Dr Amina? You learned this in medical school l guess that you shall not and cannot release a patient information to anyone or to the public without their consent l guess. So ...

she breathed the patient- doctor confidentiality ethics and should never practice again as a doctor. what a shame.
Unprofessional small girls and boys medical personnel brain washed with tic tocs
This is a “strike-off’ offence. It is a clear violation of patient confidentiality and any Doctor who does not know that should not be put in the care of patients. Abominable!
Which medical condition are you fools talking about here? Did she say Kwame Eugene is having HIV or Monkey Pox. Since when did " Osimasi has been brought to the Hospital" become disclosure of medical condition? Fools
In every profession there are rules and code of ethics the most important. Hence called code of ethics. Please be mindful of this or it could be your information that will be made public and see if you would like it.
Was the University of Ghana Medical Center (UGMC), where Kwame Eugene was sent to for treatment built by Ex-presido Mahama led government or current presidio Akufo-Addo/Bawumia led government? Ghana needs hospitals now not Ca ...

Blackman abuses everything! Stupidity

There is a HIPPA law which forbids and protects patients rights in the USA. Perhaps we should learn from this as laymen for our own education.
What soc media has done to us. We have forgotten we have brains
You should have been fired fool
