Outspoken radio presenter Abubakar Ahmed, popularly known as Blakk Rasta has opposed the decision by the Vice President, Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang to seek medical attention outside the country.
He questioned the government whether the directive came from the Doctors at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC).
“We were told that Friday evening, Professor Naana Jane, Vice President of the Republic of Ghana was taken suddenly ill and rushed to UGMC, that is University of Ghana Medical Centre for treatment and over there it has been said that she needs to be flown outside the country for better treatment.” He said on his show on 3FM monitored by Elvisanokyenews.net
“My brother, this directive is coming from the Doctor at UGMC? Did the Doctors say they are unable to handle the situation? Is beyond them and therefore, this person would be flown outside the country for medical attention. Or it is by the whim and caprices of the office of the Vice President to be flown out of the country for medical treatment because the white man is always black and the black man is always wrong.” He quizzed.
According to him, it is shameful that some public officials in all the past and present governments have abandoned the hospitals and Doctors in the country and seek medical attention from foreign countries.
He said the government should not just build hospitals but should ensure that there are requisite Doctors and Nurses and needed equipment to run the facilities.
“We saw Nana Akufo-Addo flying out of this country night and day to seek medical attention. Bawumia did the same thing. My brother, are we just building hospitals without the requisite Doctors and Nurses to run those places? Or we are still colonial minded and that anytime we are sick, we should seek treatment from our colonial masters. I remember Hon. Ablakwa in opposition, saying that politicians must be banned from flying outside the country for medical attention. And I believe he said it in the good interest of Ghanaians.” Black Rasta stated.
