A Political Science Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante, has accused the government of failed leadership following the tragic death of Dr Kwame Adu Ofori, an emergency physician at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
Dr Ofori lost his life because the hospital lacked a vital catheterisation laboratory (cath lab), an essential facility required to treat his life-threatening heart attack.
Despite desperate attempts by colleagues over the weekend to save him, the absence of this crucial medical equipment proved fatal, exposing a glaring deficiency in Ghana's healthcare infrastructure.
Speaking on JoyNews AM Show, Dr Asah-Asante lamented, "Today is a very sad day for me, as a doctor who dedicated his life to saving others was abandoned by the very state he served when it was his turn." He unleashed a scathing critique of the nation's leadership, saying, "We have leaders who are insensitive, selfish, and lack vision, wicked leaders who enrich themselves while ordinary Ghanaians suffer, yet still expect performance from the people.
