Ghanaians are currently calling out its government on Twitter after a video of a pregnant woman in labor being carried across a river in order to get her to a hospital surfaced online.
In the viral video shared by JoyNews , the pregnant lady from Nangruma community is filmed as some young men carry her across the river on a chair. A bike was first carried across the river to help continue the journey.
The report further revealed that the medium of transportation was the only alternative as the community had no healthcare center and continually suffer the risk of taking on long distance trips to get emergency healthcare service coupled with the fact that there are no bridges. Sadly, the woman’s child died.

It is NOT a matter of "as a country"
We all know who to blame
It is the ppl sitting in Accra
Politicians in Accra have ALL THE SAY, yet they only squander
If we decentralised
This will be the fault of the local govt#joysms #joynews https://t.co/bQaFrI16eA— Common Sense (@velcannon) September 17, 2018
#JoySMS so sad when I hear things like this are happening in this erra. Our leaders will talk plenty and yet no effort is made to curb these little problems.
