An expectant mother in labour has been spotted being transported on a makeshift wooden door to a clinic in the Sekyere East District in the Ashanti Region.
YEN.com.gh gathers that communities in the Sekyere East District lack basic social amenities, including potable water and electricity.
The absence of well-resourced health facilities coupled with bad roads in the cocoa-growing district compels inhabitants to improvise in crises to save lives.

Heart-rending photos of a midwife who had to improvise to use the wooden structure with the help of townfolks to enable her to transport the expectant woman to a clinic have surfaced on social media.
