Aba Dope blasts Mamprobi Polyclinic over incident
Meanwhile, Aba Dope has reacted to a heartbreaking incident that occurred at the Mamprobi Polyclinic in Accra, which involved the alleged theft of a newborn baby.
Reacting to the matter, the TikTok creator, who is a trained nurse, described the situation as deeply regrettable.
She recounted how strenuous the process of pregnancy could be for a new mother and how emotionally damaging it was to lose one’s baby due to what she called sheer negligence from hospital staff.
"How can anyone simply walk into a maternity ward and walk away with another person’s baby? Where could such a thing possibly happen? The pain of childbirth is not something to be taken lightly. I have experienced it myself, so I fully understand what I am saying."
The Mamprobi Polyclinic is a key healthcare facility located in Mamprobi, Accra. The facility provides intermediate-level healthcare services to thousands of residents within Mamprobi and its surrounding catchment areas.
