Political activist Ralph Saint Williams has stated that he has no regrets regarding his recent actions at Ridge Hospital, stating that his attitude was motivated by a desire for justice and responsibility, according to a report by GHOne TV.
Williams, a strong voice on governance and public service delivery issues, insisted that his actions were required to highlight shortcomings in the healthcare system.
He clarified that he was forced to act in a way that generated public controversy as a result of his medical experience and what he called ongoing incompetence.
Williams said, "I have no regrets about what I did at Ridge Hospital," emphasizing that his choice was a call for systemic change rather than a personal jab at specific people.
He asserts that immediate adjustments are needed in the healthcare sector to guarantee effectiveness and avert preventable catastrophes.
His remarks come after the episode sparked intense public outrage, with some expressing disagreement about whether his strategy was suitable.
Critics contend that his tactics were excessive and would compromise due process, while supporters contend that his audacity has brought attention to long-ignored problems in the health sector.
But Williams maintains that he has a clear conscience and is prepared to accept any repercussions.
He called on the government to put citizens' welfare first by increasing funding for healthcare institutions and holding healthcare providers accountable.
Discussions about healthcare standards in Ghana are still being sparked by the Ridge Hospital event, and many people are urging the government to act quickly to enhance the quality of treatment provided in public hospitals.
