Administrator at the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital, Maxwell Larbi, has disclosed that a lot of accidents have happened in front of the facility since 2000, with the most recent being the tragic death of a midwife at the hospital who was run over by a speeding vehicle.
In an interview with GhanaWeb's George Ayisi, he said that despite several attempts to get city authorities to construct speed ramps on the Accra-Koforidua and Adukrom stretches of the road, it has proved futile. "Since 2020, we have been experiencing a lot of accidents in front of the hospital, both staff, pedestrians, and other clients.
We've written several letters to the Ghana Highway Authority and the Municipal Assembly.
Staff are unwilling to come to work because of this incident." He described the attitude of the authorities as lackadaisical. "These institutions were created to safeguard the public, but it feels as if they don't care.
