At least something to be proud of far from the empty talking points from hopeless and shameless NDC/NPP gurus on radio stations.

I THOUGHT THE PROPHETS AND PASTORS IN GHANA WHO CLAIM THEY CAN PERFORM MIRACLES WERE GOING TO MIRACULOUSLY HEAL THE BABIES.
THEY ALL RAN AWAY IN THE FACE OF THE PROBLEM.

If Ghana have good and experience doctors, why Ghana politicians go to overseas for cure? May God help Ghanaian doctors and carry on doing good job for ordinary Ghanaians.

Brotherman the politicians never have confident in the local media. Like Mills he is a professor so he wanted somebody who is above his level of education to operate him likewise the rest. They dont know that when scientific method was not there ghana was practising operation. We have the wansams who have even not gone to school but could circumcised perfectly well.

A European whose life was saved in Ghana is always full of praises whenever he sees me, and is astonished about how "..your Doctors perform wonders with 'primitive' equipment..".

Conjoined twins walk into a bar in America and park themselves on a bar stool.

One of them says to the bartender, "Don't mind us; we're joined at the hip.
I'm John, he's Jim. Two Budweiser America beers, please."

The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite
conversation while pouring the beers. "Been on holiday yet, lads?"

"Off to Ghana next month," says John. "We go to Ghana every year, rent a
car and drive for miles. Don't we, Jim?" Jim agrees.

"Ah, Ghana!" says the bartender. "Wonderful country... the history,
the beer, the culture..."

"Nah, we don't like that Ghana crap," says John. "Fufu and
Club Beer, that's us, eh Jim? And we can't stand the Ghanaian's talking about Elections that is over in the Supreme Court -
they're so arrogant and rude nowadays"

"So why keep going to England?" asks the bartender.

"It's the only chance Jim gets to drive and dance Azonto"

Whilst others are working to solve problems, others are shouting e de bee ke ke and not solving any problem in the country. On top of all that, they receive huge salaries with benefits for doing absolutely nothing. The medical professionals involved in this procedure have done well in the face of dum sor, dum sor, lack of modern equipment, clean water etc, etc.

Congratulations to the entire medical team for the successful separation of the conjoined twins.

We pray that the babies recover fully from the operation and grow in strength and wisdom.

This goes to show what our medical personnel can do given the equipment and resources.

We call on MoH to equip our hospitals and support our medical personnel to provide the best healthcare for all.

Great story but that picture is wack. I am certain (or at least hope) that the operating room at KATH looks nothing like the picture published with the article. Let's get a bit more up to date
