Driver  accuses  Madina polyclinic for wife’s death

A ‘trotro’ driver Bernard Otoo whose wife died under bizarre circumstances while in labour at the Madina Polyclinic in Accra is blaming hospital  authorities  for the unfortunate incident.

According to him, doctors and nurses at the hospital delayed in attending to his wife whose actual nine months delivery period had passed by some weeks.
aggrieved Bernard Otoo told kulenu news blog, that his attempt to unravel the mystery behind the death of Cynthia Nuworsu has been stifled by the hospital’s authorities and the Madina Police.

“When I took her there in June last year, they told me she was in pain so they will have to induce her to ensure smooth delivery.

“So I left for home and decided to check on her later. When I returned they told me my wife had been transferred to the Alpha clinic, while on my way there they called and said she is at the Ridge hospital instead. Later they called me back and said I should return to the Madina Polyclinic and that she had delivered,” he narrated.

He continued: “The back and forth raised my alertness so I quickly demanded to see my wife when I got there but they refused. After a long wait, they summoned me for a meeting and told me my wife had died while in labour”.

He said he was suspicious of the quality of care that was given his wife before she died and so reported the matter to the Madina Police for an investigation to be conducted into the death but nothing has far been done.
