We are loud, boisterous and rude. We always think we know everything, but essentially we buy knowledge , we bargain for intelligence. Ghanaian doctors are no good,only the past Gold Coast educated Doctors are worth their profession. In the last couple of years, the number of cases of deaths from simple headaches, stomach aches and minor injuries from Korle Bu Hospital, should all be classified as MURDER. Those useless nurses (who are as professional as typists or seamstresses) should really all be prosecuted. I wish I had a better solution to these malpractices, but I think people ned to start confronting medical personnel violently under these death by hospital cases. It is wicked and reckless endangerment willfully accepted by our equally stupid citizens

The problem in Ghana is self medication. I don't think it was a Doctor Who prescribed this medicine for the baby or it might have been one of the self styled Doctors operating health centers without being medically trained.

Oh baby girl, May your soul rest in perfect peace. My little advice to all. It can happen to anybody but, let's be a bit careful when we are taken any medication. Especially those who find it difficult to read should ask their doctors how to take their medications. And again, may the Lord strengthen this family for their lost.

How long and hard does it take to jail bothe parents and whoever introduced the medication into this poor innocent girl. A life lost as a reward of stupidity and ignorance and a nasty government in power.. These are some of the situations incompetent Mahamah awaits for, to show his 'beneficence and benevolence'. Tell him about it.

The article is confusing. So the baby was allergic to some meds given to her by her family & when taken to the hospital, the doctors negligently gave her the wrong dose of medication, causing a double blow to her tiny body. Hospitals in Africa are a death trap, too many incompetent people. No amount of compensation can replace the life of a child.

Wow, truth from God or whatever you called yourself, how bloody cold and heartless can you be? A man just lost his child and obviously grieving, but instead of sympathizing with him, you're adding more pain to his wounds. You can't put politics aside for a second, even for a dead baby. Shame on you!

How do we call this? Would this be an accidental death, manslaughter, infanticide, or just a simple Murder?

Who administered the medication? Was it at the Hospital or at Home? What a terrible loss and tragedy!!

May the little Angel rest in perpetual peace! I wish her family my deepest condolence.

I am trying very hard to reserve my condemnation of our Medical System for such loss of life. I wonder how many times such mistakes occur in our very stressed Health Institutions.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Things don't add up here so Wayoosi should push for the investigation. Was it the high dosage or the allergies the cause of death or both? He has to know. May this sweet little girl's soul rest in peace.

It is time Ghana hold doctors and hospitals responsible for their mistakes that results to a bad outcome in patients . People should start taking legal action that will lead to a monetary reward for the victims or some form of disciplinary actions against the doctors and the hospitals .Doctors in Ghana feel so proud and many behave unprofessionally thinking that they are Gods and beyond reproach . In the US doctors walk on a fine line and they are held accountable for their mistakes . Ghanaians should wake up because lives are being lost through the carelessness of doctors . This must stop now .
