Nana Konadu further bemoaned the predicament of health care professionals who she said \u201care frustrated due to their inability to help save their patients as a result of ill-equipped hospitals and a bureaucracy that stifles their dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to create a system that supports our dedicated healthcare service men and women whilst weeding out those who are guilty of malpractice,” she stated.<\/p>\n
“How can a nation that prides itself on peace and stability shaken by outbreaks of typhoid and cholera; diseases easily avoidable if our health and sanitation systems worked effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n
