Brother of NPP activist loses wife. Blames death on unprofessional
conduct of Nurses.
It was a gloomy atmosphere at House Number 12, Israel, near Florensa Hotel when Mr.
Frank Ayim Damptey returned from a one week business trip abroad to meet his
household in mourning.
Mr. Frank Ayim Damptey, who is the MD/CEO of Tata Beverages Company Limited is a
junior brother of Daniel Danquah Damptey, an NPP activist and regular columnist of
most newspapers and websites.
The businessman had returned to the country on Friday, 12th March, 2010, a \day
earlier than schedule and decided to surprise his family members at home. Unknown to
him, a surprise was awaiting him at home.
He had “chattered” a taxi expecting to see smiling faces beckoning him home. The taxi
driver who took his luggage to the house returned to tell him: “Sir, I think there is a
funeral going on in your house”. When he summoned courage to get to the house,
family members “picked race” or “scattered in various directions for safety” for nobody
wanted to be the one to deliver the tragic news to him. The man bore his tragic loss like
the stoic philosophers of old on hearing the devastating, but only after shedding some
tears. He could not fathom what could have happened for he had spoken to the wife
and his children the previous day and the wife did not give him any notion that there
was something amiss.
But the most pathetic aspect of the whole thing was the unprofessional attitude
exhibited by the staff at the Maternity wing at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital on the
night of Thursday, 11th March ,2010. The deceased, Diana Ayim who was about Seven
and half Months pregnant collapsed at home at about 10.05pm or thereabout and was
first rushed to the La-Paz Community Hospital for treatment. But Staff at the Hospital
after taken a critical look at her condition directed that she be taken to Korle-Bu
Teaching Hospital.
At the Maternity section of the Hospital, the Nurses on duty refused to do anything to
alleviate her condition. They said that they were not admitting any new patient due to
water shortage at the hospital and that was that. Not even passionate entreaties from
family members to the nurses to go and take a look at the patient then in a vehicle
could move them from the top of Mount Olympus they thought they were occupying.
With utter detachment, they said the patient be taken to either Ridge or 37 Military
Hospital.
By the time staff at the Ridge Hospital attended to her, she was stone dead.
Such callous display of “power” by the Nurses at the Maternity Wing of the Korle-Bu
Teaching Hospital on the night of Thursday, 11th March, 2010 calls for condemnation
by concerned people in the country. Isn’t it time the appropriate authorities took
measures to bring such culprits to book to serve as a deterrent to others? What
prevented the nurses on duty to go and take a critical look at the patient before
ordering that she be taken elsewhere for treatment? If they had done that, perhaps her
life might have been saved. Are the Nurses telling us that because there is no water at
the hospital, somebody who is in dire need of medical attention will not be treated at the
hospital? What about asking the family members of the patient to bring water to the
hospital for the upkeep of the patient? I bet, some families might even donate tanks of
water.
By the callous and unprofessional conduct of the Nurses at the Maternity wing of the
Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the family has lost not only a mother and a wife who was
very dear to us but also a baby who might have grown up to be part of the problem
solving body in the country.
Meanwhile, the One Week gathering of the Bempong family of Gyakiti and the Damptey
(Bretuo) family of Abomoso and Sankubenase will take place on Friday, 19th March,
2010 at House Number 12, Israel, near Florensa Hotel, Alhaji.
