The General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), Dr David Tenkorang, has described as senseless, a suggestion that the recent violence witnessed at the Emergency Unit of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge) could be a result of a delay in giving care to a patient.
Reacting to a statement by the Ministry of Health during an interview on Asempa FM on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Dr Tenkorang stated that such a notion could only be formed out of ignorance about healthcare delivery, specifically the assessment of patients to determine their need for treatment or the nature of same. "The most disgusting and infuriating thing is the second point; the minister should know that there are systems over there.
If he doesn't understand, he should get somebody to educate him on the triage system.
It is such that you can't say because you are the first person to show up, you should be taken care of.
