There's too much money in people's pocket than in banks and government in Ghana. This story, as shocking as it is, is symptomatic of the plight of many public institutions. I pray that something can be done in quick time to help both mother and baby.

Here we go again with the blame game.We need to blame every president since independence. The presidency has just been budgeted to receive ghc 1.56 billion per year,how do we justify that when our children cant find beds in our front line teaching hospitals, and new born babies are detained for no crime than being born to poor Ghanaians? The pictures there confronts as well as challenge our collective conscience as a nation.Everyone aspires to be a politician,and for one reason only, become rich!.How did we become like this?

Oh my Ghana. Sometimes I wonder the kind of administrators we put in charge of our state facilities. Besides governments failure, I believe the hospital could also have done something about this from the IGF. Wherever you enter at KATH, some form of money is extorted and eventually end up in people's pockets. The managers at the various sectors pay themselves fat allowances whilst the public suffer. Now my wife is pregnant and I only pray that there will be no complications that will take her to KATH. I weep for my Ghana

The policy of free maternal care, funded by the British did not factor in the expansion of obstetric care facilities, training of obstetricians and midwives. What is on display is a direct consequence of a poorly thought through policy. Fortunately, with the free shs, at least some huge new school blocks have already been built.

What is the shady and corrupt Asantehene doing about this? He's more interested in amassing wealth for himself. He should bow his head in shame. Whet legacy is he leaving behind?

And the President says that a national cathedral is his priority?
I am really sad.
4 beds only? How much does a bed cost? Why is the CEO of the hospital still getting paid?

Some of you should grow up.the hospital belongs to all Ghanaians and not only Ashantis. Are u asked your ethnicity before treatment? Every Tom ,Dick and Harry must contribute regardless of one's back ground.I was born there.once I suggested that Ghanaians outside d country should contribute financially towards Ghana's police. I got nothing but reproach from some of these argent provocateurs on this platform .If each one of us outside ghana simply contribute $50_$100 a year, it will go a long way to help the country.we have been blessed so much but unable to utilize them. Come and see d weather here. Luckily Africa does not have to go through such freezing situation.

Acheampong the so called uneducated dictator was wise enough to start the facility 43 years ago. Rawlings killed him the so called democrats have come and gone yet they have done nothing. Sad

This is shocking. The amount of money stollen by Mohama & his government should have been used to renovate and equipped all the teaching hospitals. Disgusting. Or were they not aware what was happening?

Unfortunately this is the state in many gov hospitals. Hence the exploitation of many "private clinics/hospitals". These alternative s have their own set of problem.
