Some Ghanaian netizens have strongly criticised certain Chief Executive Officers and management members of public hospitals in the country for their apparent inactions in addressing challenges facing the facilities under their supervision.
The criticisms follow the circulation of video footages on social media, particularly on X, showing some health facilities undertaking maintenance activities believed to have been prompted by ongoing unannounced visits from the Minister of Health.
One such instance is a video purported to be of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, where some young men are seen painting parts of the facility, reportedly in anticipation of the minister's visit.
The video has sparked discussions among netizens, who have questioned why the management of these health facilities failed to take action until a similar unannounced visit to the Tamale Teaching Hospital led to the dismissal of its CEO due to poor facility management.
