Many people have had bad experiences at the nation's premier teaching hospital, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for many years.
Recent events leading to the death of a 13-year-old boy who died of complications from brain surgery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has brought attention to the hospital
The mother of the deceased Michael Kofi Asiamah affectionately called Kekeli by his mother, Cordelia Ama Selormey has recounted her ordeal when her son was on admission.
Michael met his untimely death on April 9, 2021, while receiving treatment after undergoing two successful surgeries to remove a brain tumor.
Prior to his death, Michael became popular on social media as the kid who was a mad fan of Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, during the time funds were being raised for his second surgery.
Within 24 hours, Ghanaians donated generously to his cause to have his second tumour removed.
Fortunately but unfortunately, Michael went into surgery and came out successfully but died a few days after his surgery from complications.
Recounting the ordeal Cordelia and Michael went through at the neurology unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, she mentioned that her son had the best and experienced doctors anyone would wish for but the hospital failed her.
She said the neurological unit lacked certain equipment that was really essential to the unit and its absence was a contributing factor to the death of her son.
While narrating the heart-wrenching story on Accra-based Citi FM and how badly the unit was in dire need of some equipment, Cordelia said she is convinced the neurosurgical unit at Korle Bu is not a priority to any government.
Narrating her son's ordeal on tears and pain, she said all her son needed was a defibrillator to resuscitate his heart, but there was none in the unit.
She added that the only one the unit had was also under lock and key with the holder of the key nowhere to be found.
