U don't do these types of operations without the modern monitoring systems that they have in developed countries. If we spend our money on these good equipment, we have the personnel to conduct such operations.

It is reported that "Dr Michael Amoah of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital wailed uncontrollably as he broke the news." This shows how passionately dedicated the doctores were to the work they performed, trying to save the two beautiful lives.

As well-wishers we share your grief and loss and our sincere sympathy goes to the family and the entire medical personnel. Though it might seem a bit downhearted to the medical team, they should not let their hearts and spirits he dampened

To the parents God moves are mysterious and we will not understand why two lives are conjoined sometiumes, though God's creations are perfect. In all things we give thanks to God for He is capable to giving back your heart's desire.

The news reporters did not give details of how the babies were joined. Whether they shared common vital organs, nerves, bone structures or not it was worth reporting.

GHANA IS THE ONLY HOPELESS BLACK AFRICAN THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY WHERE DOCTORS RUTHLESSLY KILL PATIENTS, INDICATING IN THEIR DEATH CERTIFICATES THAT THE PATIENT "DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES" AND GET AWAY WITH SUCH HEINOUS CRIMINAL OFFENCES.

THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE PATIENT IS NOT A POLITICAL STALWART OR PROMINENT PERSON IN SOCIETY, INCLUDING HIS RELATIVES OR ASSOCIATES.

LIFE IS, INDEED, CHEAP IN GHANA IF ONE IS POOR.

NO WONDER ATTA-MILLS WENT ABROAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR ROUTINE MEDICAL CHECK-UPS OSTENSIBLY ON OFFICIAL TRIPS. HE DEATH SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT GHANA'S LEADERS A LESSON.

BUT DO GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS EVER LEARN?

THAT HOW GHANA'S "LEADERS" WILL DIE ONE-BY-ONE LIKE CHICKENS IF THEY STILL DO NOT SEE THE NEED TO IMPROVE GHANA'S UNIVERSAL MEDICARE SYSTEM.

THEY CAN'T PROPERLY MANAGE EVEN KORLE-BU HOSPITAL.

28 Feb: the second of the twins has died.

I must have missed the news report on the death of the first. All die be die? The question we should ask is whether the procedure should have been performed locally in the first place? Doctors in Ghana's public health care system complain of lack of everything. Did they at this time have the equipments to perform such complex procedure?

My condolence to the family but we should examine our health system again. This case aside, people die needlessly which is worrisome.

With no disrespect for my colleagues, they should not have attempted this in Ghana.
They may be good surgeons, but we surely lack the equipment to manage a successful post-operative care in such a complex case.

They want to be paid like those in Europe, when these mother fucker doctors know Ghana is a deleveloping country. Nonsense.

Do u know how much they charged to finally kill these babies ? Nonsense. They shd refund that money and go back to scool and learn how to cut meat. Nonsense.

Ghanaian doctors bluff and are not friendly, so their stupid nurses have also imitated them.

I recently attended the funeral of a doctor who is a proffessor. And i said "onye aye e sorrrmi doctor.". So u too can die ? Nonsense.

Please don't venture into subjects you do not understand. Maybe the language barrier does not help you understand the programme you were watching. Even the removal of an appendix requires 3 doctors, the surgeon, the assistant, and the anaesthetist. Even in USA we do not use 3 surgeons to separate conjoined twins. To start with you need at least a minimum of six doctors after separation, three to attend to each baby. The a further 2 neonatologist to care for them immediately following the operation. The the other specialist to look at the blood vessels, the live and the bowel. Please next time you watch the programme in India listen carefully as nobody in anywhere in the world separates conjoined twins with 3 doctors. In Ghana where the right equipments are lacking I suspect several doctors will be required as this will be a long-haul. I applaud the effort and hope lessons are going to be learnt

First, contrary to the bashing of these gallant doctors, I commend them for taking on the task and the risks to set the pace for these types of difficult interventions in Ghana. The outcome has been negative and it is unfortunate but it also presents the opportunity to investigate what went wrong for future correction. There is a lesson to learn here and to be documented for improvement. I encourage the doctors not to let this outcome discourage from any future attempt but to champion the cause to obtain the necessary equipment and maybe, missing training to succeed next time.

For all those who have insulted the doctors, had they succeeded, it would have been a valuable contribution to the practice of medicine in Ghana but who says reasoning and reason count these days in the country? Just look around!

Well there are a lot of Ghanaian trained doctors doing wonders in the US, Canada and UK. The brave ones staying home are doing great except that they are not being helped by their politicians. Look at these doctor struggling even to get paid as our politician. Here in the US doctors are paid much well than politicians, but the opposite is what happens in Ghana. Even MP's are paid several times what these doctors earn. See these MP's and minister some with no education or even doctors who never worked being chauffeur driven in Prado's and doctors struggling to make ends meet, and hospitals with primitive facilities. I applaud their bravely to undertake such procedures with the facilities available to them.

This is a very very heart breaking news. Last week, when i read this story about the doctors going to do the separation of the twins in Ghana, i knew that something like this will happen. We are not there yet. Where are our State of the Art Equipment? Where is the electricity? Besides, the Generator at the hospital does not function well. Even after the surgery, the doctors were pleading with the ECG authorities not to turn off the lights at the hospital. Can you believe this? What a shame! We are experiencing power outages after 55 years of independence. This is a joke! By the way, who told these doctors to divide the twins liver into two and give half to each kid? This is preposterous.
In the first place, this operation should not have been done at all in Ghana.

Really and truly, i feel very sorry for the parents of these twins.

For doctors each death they experience at an operating table is something that they bear. Medicine is paid as much or less as being an engineer; and yet it is a job that can push people right to the edge and age them ten years more.
