Amid the current buhaha that centres on nurses' protests in the country, a Ghanaian woman has made a complaint concerning some nurses' alleged complete disregard for sanitation.
Woman blasts nurses over unsanitised house
According to the unidentified woman, the medical professionals paid no attention to the cleanliness of the building's exterior and surroundings. She recorded herself walking around the property, displaying the overgrown weeds and unswept areas.
As she was filming, she repeatedly emphasised the poor living conditions of the nurses .
In her words:
"A very nice house. They rented a house, and it was given to nurses. They are staying inside. Look at their surroundings. It's so dirty, all over the place. You see the surroundings. The nurses' surroundings. Very dirty. They are staying inside."
She expressed her disappointment, questioning their credibility as healthcare professionals who are supposed to care for the sick.
She made it clear that she would never seek medical help from them, given the unhygienic conditions in which they live.
She said:
"It's so dirty. Very dirty. This is where they stay. And you want me to come here for treatment? I won't come. I will die."
YEN.com.gh had a conversation with a medical specialist and a public health expert. The public health expert, identified as Prince Olutoba, claimed to have found the alleged behaviour of the nurse deeply concerning, not only from their professional perspective but also publicly.
In his words:
"These nurses failed to place the medical field on a high standard. The public should never see us as unhygienic, as it would create what we call cognitive dissonance. This is indeed very concerning and damaging."

The host questioned the recruitment process for teachers, suggesting that their English proficiency was inferior to that of the protesting nurses.
The protests, which have highlighted the government's failure to pay salaries, have led to widespread frustration among teachers and nurses.
