We are sitting on a time bomb and it will explode soon if Ashanti death is too much what does it tell us this virus has no cure is a matter of case management so what do you expect the doctors to do we seem not worried but after de registeration exercise more people will suffer the consequences, Mark my words
Can anyone explain why the death rate is significantly much higher in Ashanti than the Greater Accra region? Is Ashanti using a different treatment protocol from that of Accra? Is there a standard guideline being used across the country or every facility is doing what they deem right? If these issues are not addressed, very soon we shall see COVID-19 positive persons running to Accra to seek treatment.
THE DEATH RATE IN ASHANTI REGION IS VERY HIGH. THE DOCTORS IN THE REGION SHOULD UP THEIR GAME IN ORDER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THE PATIENTS THAT REGION.
