Afari Military Hospital, which is located between Kumasi and Nkawie in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana, has been captured in a recent video.
Amidst the trending hashtag calling on the government to FixTheCountry, the video that was taken by a former Ashanti Regional Deputy Minister showed that the place has been abandoned.
The hospital was built and commissioned under former President John Dramani Mahama but has now been left to the mercy of the weather after power exchanged hands.
See the video below:
The 500-bed hospital is left unused.
Meanwhile, a disturbing video surfaced on social media showing the deplorable state of nursing mothers lying on the bare floor with their day-old babies.
The footage sighted by YEN.com.gh on the verified Twitter handle of Ameyaw Debrah was taken at the Manhyia Government Hospital in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, as the voice-over in the footage indicated.
The only layer of support that lay between the mother, their kids, and the floor in the video were thin cloths instead of comfortable mattresses at least.

In a separate report, the founder and leader of the All People's Convention (APC), Dr Hassan Ayariga has indicated that he is on the move to build his own housing project.
In a video shared by YEN.com.gh recently, the political leader went to the abandoned $280 million Saglemi Housing Project which was started under President Mahama to take a video of how things were deteriorating.
Whilst lamenting about the state of the place, Hassan Ayariga mentioned in passing that he had come to the location to visit his 50-acre land that he purchased to build his own housing project.
