NDC and NPP and their politics of inaction (Health)

Have you visited Korle Bu or Komfo Anokye or any of our hospitals lately? Didn't you see patients lying on the floor even though they are sick and are suppose to be receiving care? If Korle Bu and Komfo Anokye hospitals are crying for resources then you can imagine the situation at Donkokrom.

What action have NDC and NPP politicians taken to provide solution to the many problems the hospitals are facing? Where in Ghana are mosquitoes not widespread? Are we not still dying from mosquito bites and other minor and preventable diseases? Despite NDC and NPP pledges, our hospitals are without the basic essentials needed to run a hospital not to mention the advanced technologies that save millions of lives in Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, Japan and America. And NDC and NPP what are they doing? According to peacefmonline "888 out of every 100,000 pregnant women in Ghana who visit the hospital to deliver their babies end up dying. Another expert whose statistics were even more frightening said, "out of every 1,000 pregnant women about 451 die". Source: peacefmonline.com, Thursday, 23 July 2009.

The NPP and the NDC are good at rhetorics, pledges and promises but lack any vision and direction. 28 years of P(NDC) and NPP rule six killer diseases continue to kill children. They cant take action because they lack a sense of purpose and direction. They are only interested in the votes that will make them MPs, Presidents, Ministers and not the responsibilities that go with the votes.

Ghanaians must sit up.
