Foroyaa Editorial: SOS HEALTH SHOULD VISIT SERREKUNDA HEALTH CENTRE
Pitch darkness enveloped the Health Centre on Tuesday night as lights went off without the operation of a generator. The people accompanying their patients had to light candles to provide light. The hospital personnel were surrounded by patients and those who accompanied them. They were helping women suffering from birth pangs as well as patients who were bleeding.
The worst aspect being faced by patients who are admitted was the lack of a toilet at the ward. Relatives had to carry patients on their back and go to the back of the wards to go to ease themselves outside the wards. It is a common saying that the health facilities in the country are equivalent to the best standards on the continent. The SoS should visit Serrekunda Health Centre and explain to the Nation whether his government will be proud of such a horrible state of affairs. It is time for the government to practice what it preaches. Source: Foroyaa Newspaper Burning Issues Issue No. 16/2008, 6 – 7 February 2008
