Miss @jazmineabena said when she fell ill in Ghana, she did not know what to expect due to the horrendous stories she had heard about the country's health system.
However, @jazmineabena said the quality of healthcare she received at the UGMC had squashed those negative perceptions as well as her fears about getting ill in Ghana.
"Staying at this hospital, honestly, really put my mind at ease and I know exactly where I would be going, God forbid, if I do have another emergency," she said.
In the video chanced on TikTok by YEN.com.gh, @jazmineabena said she opted for a private room after the doctor told her that she would have to spend a night at the hospital.
The private room, as she showed in the viral video, had a bathroom with a variation of different soaps, a flat-screen TV, a fridge, a microwave, and a wardrobe,
Miss @jazmineabena was also served different varieties of meals for her breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Having been impressed by the quality of service at the UGMC, @jazmineabena later expressed her gratitude to the staff for the care they provided her in a caption accompanying the video post.
"lowkey grateful that this happened to me in Ghana and not the UK because I don't know if I would have received this level of care from the NHS!" she said.
