Dr Petro must be a spirit. How can you graduate in a year that is not yet here? 2026 is still a year away, yet to come.

Poorly-trained doctors. One nearly killed a 12-year old boy prescribing asthma medication for adults for the boy when the boy did not even have asthma.

why didn’t they train in the public medical schools ? UGMS, KNUST SMS, Cape Vars, UDS, UHAS etc? They probably had poor grades but father insisted they be doctors. poorly trained.

@xxxxx!what were you thinking, all students with better grades go to medical school? A typical ghanafour mentality. They going to private med. school means that the Ntiamoahs has the finances to make it happen.These private med. school has accreditation to run courses for med.students.One doesn't have to have all A s before admission to med school . Biology and chemistry are the most needed for med school. In Ghana a student with b or c grades in brofo is even denied admission.

Family of doctors !!! I like that. Great family !! like this family ! My son couldn't make it to med school, but will be earning more than his mates who are still in the med school. All our days and all that we will do, are they not written in His book?. Who knows chemistry and biology more than my son and yet he is about to enter into corporate world where money is not a problem. Kudos to the N3!

I see they went to a private university for their medical education....it means entry is not as competitive as public universities.. If you have the money and interest, it's possible!!!

In which part of the world could someone become a medical doctor at age 21? It’s good to give your children the best of education but it’s great for them to go through the process without jumping them. I’ll be scared if one of these kids attend to my family member in any hospital. If they were brilliant enough they would have gone to Legon or KNUST medical school.

It’s unfortunate that you know very little about what you are talking about.
Knowledge has thought us that med school is not always about how difficult you get in nor the A’s you get because it all ends up as chew pour pass and forget. It’s all about your passion and that is paramount.
Also the school that you see as just a private med school is much educative and can be better than Legon or equal to Legon. The student to prof ratios are much better given fewer students better attention to train well than your traditional Legon.
Bad doctors are those who have no passion but not those who did not make A’s or go to public med schools.

It takes 6 years to train as a doctor. If the person is a doctor at 21 it means she started at the age of 15. It also means she completed SHS at 12. Which means she completed JHS at 9. Which also means she was in class 1 at 3 years old. Many questions.

21 years of completion suggests she completed JHS at or a few months before 12 gained entry to SHS and completed at exactly 15 years or a few months before.

Entered the medical school at 15 years eventually.

This isn't a news. President Trump children would never see pain or become poor no matter how foolish they are. Why, because their father had family financial records. So if this children are making it to become Doctors. Go to the village and help those who don't have the privilege to go to Ridge school or Achimota school but still make it. Those are true hero who was able to break the barrier of family stagnation. So this story is useless to me. Because they don't see any struggles in life

You nailed it bro. They have no reason to fail because of their good foundation. But if you don't have a Doctor as your father and you don't have anyone to take care of you. And you are able to go to the village school, eating burnt cassava or cocoyam before going to school and you are able to make it to the University or became an ordinary Teacher. That is a great achievement not this good foundation in our society. How many people have access to Ridge school and Achimota. This indeed isn't a news at all.

@Kevin US you said it all. @ Kofi Ghana you even went deeper. Eating burnt cassava or cocoyam as breakfast before going to your village school. Whilst this favorite family in our society drinking tea before going to Ridge school or Achimota. Why would their achievements would be a news. But if you start it as Asiedu Nkentiah as Son seven student, do palm wine topper for a living, become people teacher, graduated to be a people teacher, and become MP. Yes that is a dream come true. From nothing to something. No all this Dada baa and good family structures

Ghanaweb, how is this history? Have your editors heard of the Laing, Korsah and Bentsi-Enchil families. You young guys write stories as if Ghana was created or founded after the "invention" of Facebook. You write stories that just reflect how long you have been in this world and think nothing great ever happened.

When the children of a farmer, palm wine tapper, cattle herder, fisherman, petty trader, carpenter, mason, fitter, tailor, native doctor or a herbalist follow him in his footsteps, by doing the same job as he did, that is seen as no news, so why should this become news?
