As Coronavirus cases rise, resulting in higher numbers of deaths, the Ghana Medical Associate (GMA) has expressed great worry.
According to the General Secretary of the Association, Dr Justice Yankson, the trend dose not look good especially since the country's health infrastructure is overstretched, reports citinewroon.com.
He stressed that the new Delta Variant of the virus as well as people's refusal to continue adhering to the safety protocols have exacerbated the situation, deepening its worry.
"What is clearing at this point is that most of our severe and critically-ill COVID-19 patients are beginning to see some struggle in terms of where to manage them. Most of our Intensive Care Units and High Dependency Units that managed a lot of these severe and critically-ill COVID-19 patients are full and overwhelmed and its not a good thing for all of us," he said.
So far in August, statistics show that at least some 26 persons have succumbed to the Coronavirus and this, Dr Yankson added, is extremely worrying.
