Pregnant woman dies as roof of theatre caves in during live surgical operation in Ghana (photos)

The surgery theater at the Effia-Nkwanta regional hospital in Takoradi in the Western region, Ghana, caved in during a live surgical operation.

The development caused a temporary hold up on three ongoing operation and doctors had to transfer the patients to Kwesi Mintin Hospital for the process to continue. One of the patients, a 31-year-old pregnant woman died. Her death are being attributed to the incident. 
 
According to local media, she died due to unavailability of blood transfusion equipment or 'giving set' at the hospital. But the medical Director of Effa Nkwanta Hospital, Dr. Kwau Ntodi in an interview with Joy News correspondent Francis Whajah denied the report. He said the lady could have died even if the incident had not happened because she had a ruptured uterus.

Her death, he said, could not have been as a result of the movement from the hospital to another. The medical officer who attended to the deceased on arrival said the baby had already died before they arrived at the hospital.

    1. So there is no way you can think outside the Devil for a natural happening like this? Must it be witchcraftcy? Ask someone that is well educated in your area to explain what 'Critical Thinking' is to you. It will help you in reasoning and in future it will help your kids not to reason the way you are reasoning now. As I see,your brain is occupied with superstitions like every typical uneducated Nigerian.
