In a deeply distressing video that surfaced on Sunday, July 5, 2026, Mzbel, dressed in a black headwrap and black attire, was seen sobbing uncontrollably as she spoke.
The musician struggled to compose herself throughout, oscillating between heavy crying and attempting to get her words out as she addressed her followers about the tragedy.
According to Mzbel, her sister was rushed to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana's largest and most prominent public medical institution, in urgent need of treatment.
The family was reportedly told that no bed was available to admit her, with the musician claiming that the delay in receiving care ultimately cost her sister her life.
The video spread rapidly online, resonating far beyond celebrity gossip, and for many Ghanaians, Mzbel's account has struck a painfully familiar nerve.
The so-called 'no-bed syndrome' at Korle Bu and other public hospitals has been a source of public frustration, with reports of families being turned away or left waiting while loved ones deteriorate.
