@BraAlex3 It still but tresses my point. Problem with obstetric care. A health centre is under the district hospital, and it be hooves on the referral centre to get to the root of the issue. We can't sit there and be happy about doing 10 emergency C/S a day

@LmSerbeh I just got a referral o/a of 2 prev cs in labor , cervix 6cm dilated with contractions from a HEALTHCENTER!!! Client went for ANC visit JUST 3 TIMES. Can you blame the facility ?? There are so many questions about obstetric care in a poverty ridden society Charley

60 per week, 240 per month, 2880 per year (KATH is doing about 3.4k/year). If you're doing this much, there's question about obstetric care from ANC to labor monitoring.

Wow We now have two specialists here in St. Patrick’s and we do roughly 60 caesarean sections weekly St. Patrick’s hosp has really improved and it’s one of the biggest facilities in Ashanti region. Hopefully no one losses a relative because of “bad system”

@michael_makafui WHO prescribes about 15% C/S rates. Above which it is presumed some C/S were likely avoidable with proper care. Mind you, physician factors can also heavily spike numbers, especially if you have juniors who want to learn and perfect their skills.

😂😂😂. KATH instead has found a way to make sure that you cannot come there without calling. And national ambulance will not move to KATH without confirmation from them that they are expecting a patient from said facility.

Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare points to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital as an example where patients are attended to without the recurring “no bed syndrome” concerns often reported elsewhere. #Newsfile

@elon_not_musk_ @IAmJohndaddy @_Annikus_ Errrm, it depends on what "stabilise" means. Some include incubating, hours of resuscitation. Stabilise doesn't mean a 5 mins something. So how long it takes to "stabilise" a patient is variable. And giving "drip" doesn't mean patient has been stabilised.

@IAmJohndaddy @_Annikus_ What you’re saying rn is an “if” situation, a Doctor can stabilize this patient in 15 mins on the stretcher and the patient can be transferred to wherever a bed is even if it’s in a commercial vehicle this time .. Broken system? Yes!. was he neglected by the MD’s? Yes 🤝

Most of the panelists speaking about the issue are acting as if doctors don't think. At best, we have one(1) ambulance per constituency, but doctors should use the one stretcher in the one ambulance to treat the patient. What kind of country is this?

@KobenaLutterodt KATH has a policy that NAS knows too well. No inter facility referral without confirmation from our team that we're expecting the case. Should they however bring a roadside case/John doe, KATH accepts. Or, they'll redirect to a facility they know can handle the case.

@_edem_edem_ Other ambulances within the region will be called. What that means is longer response time. And should their stretcher also be taken, that means 2 ambulancea temporarily out of service.

And another interesting thing is, that strecther can slowly become part of the hospital beds because patients will keep coming, and the beds will never be empty. Ambulance staff have sometimes fought with ED staff to get their stretchers back. Dr. George K Owusu,CEO of NASk

to ambulance because the bed is being used. Every doctor who has worked in a district ER has a story about calling an ambulance and being told "we currently have no available ambulancea. They are stuck at.... You'll have to call back in an hour".

"decommissioning" ambulances. A stretcher taken means that ambulance is out of service. There isn't a surplus of those beds. So yh, this practice is being done already. And it's not easy for all involved. And the effect ripples down to the next emergency that doesn't have access

Errrm, we do use them. A lot. We even use ambulances as extensions of ER. It isn't unheard of the see ambulances lined up at KATH because their stretchers have been "confiscated". This issue came up once and I remember EDs were told to resist from unofficially"
