So Sad: 70 Year Old Man Dies After Being Refused Treatment In Seven Hospitals Due To Lack Of Beds

There is a sad story in Ghana about treatments in hospitals.

A 70 year old died while looking for a hospital. Moreover, the man went to 7 hospitals and failed to receive treatment at all 7 until he died. His name is Prince Anthony Opoku Acheampong.

Furthermore, according to the son, Ishmael, his father was sick. Therefore, he needed to be admitted but seven hospitals turned them away citing lack of beds.

According to him, they visited the C&J Medicare Hospital in Adabraka, the Korle Bu Polyclinic, Ridge Hospital, Police Hospital, the Trust Hospital, the La Polyclinic, and the LEKMA Hospital but they were turned away at all facilities because they claimed they did not have beds to admit him.

Ishmael said his father finally died at LEKMA, which was the seventh hospital they went to.

Ishamel spoke to Citi News about his father’s ordeal with the hospitals

“Somebody who was not sick but to wake up in the morning and he is no more; apart from the fact that it is disheartening, it is also quite not human… For such a thing to happen, I am not only sad. I am confused as well.”
