There seems to be no end to the ‘no bed syndrome’ in Ghanaian hospitals. The no bed syndrome has led to the death of quite a number of people in the country. And today a 5-month-old pregnant woman has lost her child as a result of it.
The unidentified woman, according to a report her brother-in-law gave Kessben FM in Kumasi this morning, was told there no bed was available when they took her to Pramso hospital.
They took her to a private hospital at Kuntanase where they were told there is no doctor available so they should take her to ‘Agogo Hospital’.
The pregnant who according to her brother in law was bleeding all this while gave birth in the taxi when they were on their way to Agogo Hospital.
According to the brother-in-law, she was complaining about not feeling well before she started bleeding.
The 5-month baby could not survive but the mother has been taken the maternity ward for medical examination.
