The President of the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Health, Bright Amissah Nyarko, has condemned the behavior of some healthcare workers in Ghana's health facilities.
He emphasised that many of these workers have adopted an "I don't care" attitude.
Nyarko expressed disappointment over the lack of empathy and professionalism exhibited by some healthcare providers, which can discourage patients from seeking medical care. "The 'I don't care' attitude in our health facilities is too much," he stated while speaking at Media General's Health Forum, themed "State and Future of Health Facilities: Reimagining Healthcare in Ghana," held on May 7, 2025.
He stressed the need for healthcare workers to adopt a more patient-centered approach, prioritising empathy, respect, and compassion in their interactions with patients.
