This is not about been Rambo it's about people doing things right. At least their needs are going to be heard thanks to Akando. We all have appreciated their challenges also.

Ghanaian doctors and nurses are murderers they r very mean to patients. Doctors and nursed r the dangerous people in Ghana. I everyday pray to God to pay Ghanaian doctors and nurses with sickness and miseries. This punishment must reac them and their children.

See they r in defence now. Please replace all of them immediately. And we are behind the minister in spirit.
The best minister so far is this Minta.

I thought the Drs and staff will say "they shall resume services after the hospital is equipped with all tools to efficiently carried out they duties"! The hospital leadership, don't they express emotions when dissatisfied about repeated issues? Parliament, journalist, other leaders even go emotional on tv sets to the view of the whole world.

If there was an exchange of words, then, the Dr must also apologize to the public. Sometimes, leaders show emotions too. Especially in overwhelming situations as this when people are dying needlessly. This was why Akufo Addo left us alone and we cried our hearts out.
Allow the Minister to bring other in our health sector.

So why were these demands not made? Is it because the Minister came to expose you? What about your own inefficiencies. We need to be serious in this country. What did the CEO do about what you are asking? Please please

All those who attended that meeting demanding those equipment are killers more than Satan. These doctors are sick in the head. Why didn't you hold the outgoing CEO accountable?

What's this ???? Why didn't you go on strike knowing you were not having these equipment since then ? You're selfish doctors and nurses. Shame on you.

Ghanaians don't like spending but like quality things from the government, if you are not a staff at a medical hospital you will never know how staffs improvise in place of non available equipments in order to save lifes. Those who don't patronise government health facilities always spill rubbish. Go and attend to a highly infectious pt with non availability of common gloves and mask, then you will learn to appreciate Ghanaian doctors and nurses . They will risk their lives to save such patients, only for them and relatives become abusive to the staffs .Before you can successfully criticise medical staffs, (apart from negligence) try joining them to work for just 1 day ( especially at Regional referral centres) after that whenever you see the nurses and doctors you will Bow for them

So you could run a teaching hospital, for all these years, without these equipment? What sort of services were you rendering? Hasn't the hospital, a biomedical engineering unit? What are the internal generated funds used for? Why have the doctors been quiet until now? Is a rebuke from your employer, no matter how unpleasant, be cause for indiscriminately targeted action.

BRAVO!!!! I am with you all the way to the end. Mintah Akandoh, a nonentity turned minister is behaving as if he is God Himself. Mahama should call his immature appointees to order. Not long ago, the Ash regional minister was also in the news for such outbursts and stopped short sacking someone. Even if dr. Akwulpwa slapped the minister, he should not retaliate because of his position and it would show maturity. Violence begets violence!! Just because Akandoh turned a minister overnight does not mean he can disrespect and talk to anyone any how. Respect is earned and not demanded. He should remember that he will one day soonest, not be a minister anymore and he will meet Akwulpwa one day with a health issue, that is when you will know you smoothness level. What goes around, certainly cones around.

Wicked doctors and health workers. These people are criminals, thieves and do not care about people life But only care about MONEY . In 2020 April, wife was admitted in TTH , on wicked doctor call Titighan referred us his fellow doctor called Naa ghandow private clinic in Tamale, To this man charged us ghc 2210.00 for an endoscopy , to check was wrong with her. Meanwhile , when we finally came korly Bu , same endoscopy can done for ghc 340.00. TTH doctors and health workers deliberately broke down their hospital equipment bought with tax payers money. So they can direct patients to their private hospital to access laboratory and other procedures services. These people are demons. At end this dr .titghan frustrated my wife and I. When we got to Accra it late and not knowing she suffering from renal cancer and died in June sane year. Criminals. Demonic doctors u can go strike but God will punish U people. How can a teaching hospital be a graveyard? Apuuuu!!! Witches!! Blood hackers.

And those saying all the staff at the hospital should be sacked must be joking, right?

Because if you choose that easy path, I can bet my meagre salary that we would have a nationwide strike on our hands.

U could choose to go to hell. Ur presence or absence doesn’t cause lives and doesn’t safe lives either. Let the whole government health workers go on strike we shall live.

We want seriousness in Ghana now. Now Ghanaians working outside say things aren't like before abroad. If things work well here, why abroad? please all should now note that we are not for political colors now but those who will serve to honour the land. It's not all about money! Even the small talent God gives, He expect it to generate profit.

All the medical staff on strike should all be fired. There are more doctors in Ghana than our needs.
