Sunyani Teaching Hospital in desperate need of blood – Biomedical Scientist

The Sunyani Teaching Hospital is experiencing an acute blood shortage, Mr Enoch Gyau, a biomedical scientist and the Unit Head of the hospital’s blood bank has said. Basically, the shortage he added was due to the upgrade of the hospital, saying that had increased referrals from sister-facilities, especially facilities in rural communities, and appealed to the public to voluntarily donate blood to re-stock the blood bank. Mr Gyau made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani on the side-lines of blood donation exercises the hospital in collaboration with MTN Ghana Foundation organised and held at the Sunyani Senior High and Twene Amanfo Technical and Senior High Schools. The exercises were in in line with the Foundation’s annual ‘Save a Life blood don...

Exposure of the military in civilian affairs should be minimised – Defence Minister

Dr Edward Omane Boamah, the Minister of Defence, has highlighted the need not to overexpose the military in civilian affairs, because it defeats their constitutional mandate of protecting the country’s territorial integrity from external aggressors. He said their limited engagement was necessary to keep the relationship between the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and the civilian population healthy. The Minister, at a meeting with more than 30 journalists who form the Defence Press Corp (DPC) in Accra, dismissed the use of the military at the least stress or commotion instead of using the police whose duty was to deal with such situations. “...I have always said that how many times do we find a soldier holding a handcuff? Per, their training, arrest is not even part of what they are supp...

Kasoa Soldier ‘Killer’ Denied Bail

A High Court in Accra has once again denied a bail application filed on behalf of Benlord Ababio, aka Nana Barima Ababio, a self-acclaimed traditional ruler who shot and killed a soldier at Millennium City, Kasoa in the Central Region. This was after the prosecution was able to convince the court that the accused person is a very “aggressive individual” and a “very notorious land guard” who will not show up for the trial if granted bail. Frederick Adu Gyamfi, a State Attorney, in his argument against the bail application, indicated that the accused due to his violent nature, “when given the least opportunity he will not be able to resist but commit another offence.” Ababio and Amo Sekyere have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, while Ababio is facing a substantive char...
