Johnnie Hughes, a well-known air personality and journalist, has strongly criticised recent comments made by a doctor from the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) regarding the death of a 31-year-old patient, stating that it was being "blown out of proportion." Hughes expressed his disbelief at the suggestion that the death of an individual could be trivialized in such a manner. "How can anyone suggest that a death, especially one that has impacted a family, is being blown out of proportion?
We need to season our words with salt, making sure they make sense before we speak them out loud," he said on his show on 3FM monitored by MyNewsGh.
Hughes raised concerns about the broader situation, questioning why doctors and nurses are demanding apologies from government officials when the minister's visit to the hospital revealed issues like dirty washrooms and water shortages. "What exactly are they apologizing for?
Is it because the hospital's conditions were highlighted during the unannounced visit?" he asked.
