Detailing what happened, the nurse stated that Ralph came to the hospital with certain demands, expecting preferential treatment.
She explained that the activist became upset after his request for immediate attention was not met, as staff followed standard procedures and protocols.
“When he came, he wanted us to leave everybody and attend to him. So we explained to him, but he wouldn’t sit down. My in-charge told him to get a card. He asked, ‘Why should I get a hospital card?’ He said his name must be in the system, and once it’s there, everything should pop up. But my in-charge told him, ‘No, it’s not done like that in Ghana.’ That’s when he got angry because he was told that’s not how the system works.”
