Also, a Ghanaian professor in America, Dr Prosper Yao Tsikata, died while undertaking a routine exercise at a gym. According to unconfirmed reports, a metal fell on him in the gym and he was immediately rushed to the hospital where he, unfortunately, died.
Considering the development of senior citizens dying at the gym there are some questions that always remain unanswered.
Some of which is why popular gyms in the country are not regulated and even lack the presence of a health official. Other issues to consider too is whether the gym instructor had no training in CPR.
The issue with the lack of ambulances also remains a matter of concern especially when the ratio of ambulances to patients remain terribly low.
