The distraught husband is seeking GHC5 million for alleged medical negligence
A distraught husband has filed a five million Cedis suit against the Ridge Hospital in Accra for alleged medical negligence in the death of his wife and baby at the facility.
In a 5-page writ filed on June 1, 2020, at the Accra High Court, Mr Mohammed Mustapha, the husband of the deceased, Akua Nyarko Osei-Bonsu, alleges that the medical officers failed to appropriately treat and manage his wife’s condition during and after a Caesarean Section (CS).
The suit states that the failures, negligence and careless acts and omissions of the medical officers who performed the surgery at the hospital caused and/or contributed to her death.
The lawsuit listed the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice (1st Defendant), the Ministry of Health (2nd Defendant), Ghana Health Service (3rd Defendant) and Greater Accra Regional Hospital (4th Defendant) as defendants in the case.
The Statement of Claim stated that during the deceased’s routine antenatal care, the medical officers requested for a Doppler Scan. After the scan, the deceased was diagnosed with severe Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) with an Abnormal Umbilical Artery Doppler, a condition which pointed to placental insufficiency.
Based on the diagnosis, the deceased was scheduled for an emergency (CS) in order to save her life and the baby. Notwithstanding the CS which was conducted on December 16, 2019, the baby did not survive and in less than 24 hours, Mrs Osei-Bonsu developed a condition called thromboembolism which eventually led to her death.
The complaint states that Dr Frederickson Pobee, a medical doctor who led a medical team at the hospital to attend to the wellbeing and healthcare of Mrs Osei-Bonsu failed to administer an important medication after the surgery.
“Although the 4th Defendant’s own protocols or standard practice demands that every patient who undergoes CS, is given a prophylactic anticoagulant therapy (PAT) after 12 hours of the CS, the 4th Defendant did not even include this therapy in the management plan of the deceased.
“The 4th Defendant, in fact, did not administer any prophylactic anticoagulant therapy notwithstanding that it was aware that the deceased was susceptible to pulmonary thromboembolism, by reason of her weight, condition and the surgery,” the complaint said.
However, a report dated February 26, 2020, on the deceased medical history at the hospital stated that all the protocols and procedures required in administering healthcare to the deceased were followed.
“In summary, the medical team took the right decision to perform the caesarean section even though the baby did not survive on account prematurity and severe IUGR. The development of a thromboembolic phenomenon within 24 hours after the caesarean section was unfortunate. The protocol of the department is to administer prophylactic anticoagulant therapy after 12 hours of caesarean section. Unfortunately, the Husband did not procure the said medication even though it was prescribed before surgery. Even after surgery, the staff impressed upon him to procure the drug but he failed to procure the medication until the unfortunate thromboembolic complication happened. A review of the management processes of the team on duty when the woman experienced the sudden onset of breathlessness showed appropriate steps,” the report said.
Mr Mustapha has since denied thee claims saying it is an attempt by the hospital administration to implicate him, in order to cover up their gross negligence.
“The drug, Fragmin, which could have prevented the situation was bought but was not administered,” Mr Mustapha said.
Since the unfortunate incident, Mr Mustapha has launched several actions demanding justice for his wife.
Mr Mustapha seeks the following reliefs:
a. A declaration that the death of the deceased arose from the negligence of the Defendants and/or their agents.
b. A declaration that the manner in which the deceased died breached the strategic objectives of the National Health Policy adopted since 2007 and also Ghana’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals on Maternal Health and mortality
c. General damages for negligence assessed at the sum pleaded in paragraph 21 of the statement of claim.
d. Legal fees and cost.
Mr Mustapha is electing for a full trial, according to the lawsuit.
The Electoral Commission (EC) is expected to furnish the Supreme Court with the legal basis for excluding the current voters’ Identification card from the list of required documents for getting unto the new voters roll.
The Electoral Commission is set to compile a new voters’ register for the upcoming 2020 general elections but the commission has taken out the current identification card as part of the prerequisite for getting onto the new roll.
The Apex Court on Thursday, June 4, 2020, ordered the Electoral Commission to provide the legal basis for its decision.
The National Democratic Congress has invoked the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to determine whether or not it is unconstitutional for the EC to reject an existing voters ID as the basis for the upcoming voter registration exercise.
The NDC contends that the decision of the EC to reject an existing voter ID will disenfranchise many Ghanaians which is a violation of Article 42 of the 1992 Constitution and that, per Article 45 of the Constitution, the EC can only compile a voter registration once and periodically revise it.
The Seven Member Panel of the Court headed by Justice Anin Yeboah will however continue the hearing of the substantive matter on Tuesday, June 9, 2020.
Background
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in March 2020 sued the Electoral Commission over attempts by the Commission to compile a new voters’ register for the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The NDC argues in its suit that the EC lacks the power to go ahead with its plans because it can only “compile a register of voters only once, and thereafter revise it periodically, as may be determined by law”.
According to the writ invoking the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, the opposition NDC among other things demanded a “declaration that upon a true and proper interpretation of Article 45(a) of the 1992 Constitution, 2nd Defendant [the EC] has the constitutional power to, and can, compile a register of voters only once, and thereafter revise it periodically, as may be determined by law. Accordingly, 2nd Defendant can only revise the existing register of voters, and lacks the power to prepare a fresh register of voters, for the conduct of the December 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.”
The NDC in its case is also praying the court to declare as illegal the decision of the EC not to use the old voter ID cards as registration proof in the compilation of the new register.
The NDC claimed that the decision which is without any justification is arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable, and contrary to article 296 of the 1992 Constitution.
English top-flight managers will be given greater freedom to tinker with their teams from June 17, with matchday squads now made up of 20 players
The Premier League has given a green light for five substitutions to be made by managers in the English top-flight when competitive action resumes amid the coronavirus pandemic on June 17.
It has also been announced that matchday squads will be increased from 18 to 20 for the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign, meaning that nine players can be named on the bench.
Having been in a state of lockdown since mid-March, the Premier League is set to return after a three-month hiatus.
The vast majority of sides in the division have nine fixtures left to take in, with Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Sheffield United having 10 apiece – and it will be they who kick things off on June 17.
Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Dean Smith and Chris Wilder will all be able to dig a little deeper into their respective reserves than they were allowed to previously, with rule changes granting coaches greater freedom to tinker with their plans and rest those in need of a break.
A statement released by the Premier League read: “Premier League Shareholders today agreed temporary changes to the rules relating to substitute players.
“For the remainder of the 2019/20 season, the number of substitutes that can be used during a match will increase from three to five players.
“This is in line with the temporary law amendment made by the International Football Association Board last month.
“Shareholders also approved for Clubs to increase the maximum number of substitute players on the bench from seven to nine for the rest of the 2019-20 season.”
A precedent when it comes to five substitutions has already been set in the Bundesliga.
The German top tier was the first of Europe’s leading divisions to bring competitive football back onto the calendar.
They tweaked their rules when it comes to in-game changes, and the Premier League will now be doing likewise.
The English game will also be staying behind closed doors, with it still possible that some games will be staged at neutral venues in a bid to prevent fans from congregating outside the stadiums in which their teams are playing.
While there will be a distinct lack of atmosphere inside grounds, there is still plenty left to play for out on the field.
Liverpool, with a 25-point lead opened up at the top of the table, are just two wins away from wrapping up a first title triumph in 30 years.
Top-four spots remain up for grabs in the race for Champions League qualification, with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham still very much part of that battle.
At the opposite end of the table, Norwich, Aston Villa and Bournemouth occupy the relegation spots at present, but they remain within touching distance of safety and will have many of those above them glancing anxiously over their shoulder.
The Minority in Parliament has petitioned the Auditor-General to conduct a special audit into GHS280.3 million that was allocated by the government for the provision of food, water, and sanitation under the Coronavirus Alleviation Programme (CAP).
In a letter to the Auditor-General signed by the Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka and the Ranking Member of Parliament’s Finance Committee, Cassiel Ato Forson on June 3, 2020, the Minority among other things are calling for a special audit into expenditure on:
The amount of GHS40million, which was allocated for the procurement and distribution of food packages and hot meals to vulnerable groups in lockdown areas.
The amount of GHS40.3 million, which was allocated to the Ghana National Buffer Stock Company for the procurement and distribution of dry food to the vulnerable groups in lockdown.
The amount of GHS200 million, allocated for the provision of water and sanitation especially the amount spent on the supply of water takers to deprived in communities.
Minority’s reason for special audit
According to the letter, the Minority says it has received evidence some of the items meant for the vulnerable were sold by persons in government.
“The low coverage and haphazard implementation of the distribution of free hot meals and dry food to the vulnerable groups, as well as the supply of water to deprived communities, gives us cause for concern that these funds were not utilized judiciously by the government.”
“This is particularly so, as we have sighted media reports of state-sponsored COVID-19 relief items meant for the vulnerable, being sold in the market by functionaries of the ruling New Patriotic Party in Kumasi and other parts of the country.”
“Furthermore, we have in our possession, an audio recording from a Kumasi based Silva FM station, in which Market women at Tafo Pankrono have confirmed that eggs meant for distribution to vulnerable groups under the CAP have been diverted and sold on the mark by persons associated with government functionaries in the area,” the letter added.
Background
The Minister of Finance, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, presented to the Finance Committee of Parliament the government’s Coronavirus Alleviation Programme (CAP) in which he indicated that the government was going to spend GHS1.2 billion to cushion Ghanaians against the socio-economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The breakdown of the GHS1.2 billion included an allocation of GHS40 million for the provision of food packages and hot meals and an allocation of GHS40 million to the Ghana Buffer Stock Company for the provision of dry food to support vulnerable communities in lockdown areas.
A further GHS200 million was allocated for the provision of water and sanitation, including the mobilisation of all publicly and privately owned water tankers to ensure the supply of water to all vulnerable communities. All three allocations amounted to GHS280.3 million.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has invited Director of News at Angel 102.9 FM, Kofi Adomah, for predicting correctly the contents of President Akufo-Addo’s speech on Sunday.
The head of news of the media organisation responded to the invitation Wednesday afternoon, June 3, 2020.
General Manager of Angel FM, Kwadwo Dickson, accompanied the broadcaster to the Headquarters of the CID in Accra.
Mr. Dickson told DJ Willie, the host of Bumper to Bumper drive time show that the invitation followed a video recording aired on Kofi TV, which is operated by journalist, ahead of the address by President Akufo-Addo.
In the said video, Kofi Adomah predicted many of the things the president said, including the decision to relax some of the restrictions imposed on the country, as a measure to control the surge in the COVID-19 cases the country had recorded.
EC had technical glitches that interrupted the pilot registration process
Mr Eric Dzakpasu, Deputy Volta Regional Director of the Electoral Commission, said the Commission has fixed the technical glitches that interrupted the pilot of the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits and processes in Ho on Tuesday.
He said the BVR machine rejected all inputs after working smoothly from 0700 hours to 1427 hours compelling the Commission to terminate the exercise.
Mr Dzakpasu said after an update, the machine became operational at about 1600 hours.
He told the Ghana News Agency that due to the challenge, only 36 people, comprising political activists, members of the public and the media were captured under the exercise on the first day.
Mr Dzakpasu said Wednesday’s pilot exercise was smooth sailing and expressed optimism that the two-day pilot would end well.
Mr Shabanton Dutsrogbe, Volta Regional Research and Election Officer of the New Patriotic Party, described the exercise as good with the maintenance of social distancing and other protocols being adhered to.
He said technical glitches are normal technological issues and should be expected as the import of the pilot exercise was to rectify all shortfalls towards making the BVR machine fit for purpose during the mass registration exercise.
Representatives of the National Democratic Congress said the Party’s position in respect of the two-day exercise in the region would be made public at 1600 hours today.
The exercise is to test the effectiveness of the BVR machine ahead of the impending mass voter registration exercise later this month for the 2020 general elections.
At 1010 hours on Wednesday, a total of 21 people were registered, when the Ghana News Agency visited the registration centre.
