During his usual rants on Johnnies Bite segment on the morning show, Mr Hughes scored that the country’s system of governance and management is appalling and must be fixed. He argued that the lapses in the system are the reason politicians and other prominent personalities abandon local health facilities for an international one.
He noted that the shortcomings in our system are glaring yet there has not been a deliberate intervention to cure it for the nation. Johnnie Hughes reckoned that the death of the woman who had just delivered in Takoradi could have been prevented if the right systems were employed for the implementation of the National Ambulance Service.
He cried that it was needless for the Service to demand payment for refueling during emergencies, adding that the ambulance service was promised to be a life-saving intervention irrespective of the condition. He argued that ambulances in developed nations don’t demand any payment of a fee before delivering a service, adding that all expenses are sponsored through a responsive healthcare system.
“Is it my job to go and look for fuel? If we have a better system, will our big men have to travel outside of the country to go and seek medical care? It’s because they know that the system, we are running here is bogus!”
Mr Hughes argued that personnel of the Ambulance Service who by their professional negligence caused the death of the woman must be penalized. He feared the inaction of the service in penalizing persons who caused an ambulance to cart cement, could find its replication in this situation too.
“Because nobody was punished for using the ambulance in carting cement this happens Most of the people who die at the hospital don’t die because of the illness but for our negligence. What kind of a country is this? Why do this to ourselves? We speak big English and nothing happens,” he added.
