Former John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern about what he described as the decline in the humanity of some Ghanaians.
**FORMER PRESIDENT MAHAMA CALLS FOR COMPASSION AS HE DEBATES HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GHANA**
In a powerful sermon at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church, former President John Dramani Mahama has called for compassion and humanitarian action in the face of a shocking incident in which a patient was allegedly abandoned by hospital staff at a roadside in the Central Region.
The Ghana Health Service has launched an investigation into the incident, which has sparked outrage and concern about the state of healthcare in Ghana. Mr. Mahama, who is the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2024 general elections, used his sermon to lament the lack of humanity displayed by those who witnessed the patient’s ordeal.
“Even if the hospital staff were at fault, if those who saw her lying by the roadside had come to her aid, she could still be alive today,” he said. “The question is, did they not read the parable of the Good Samaritan? Because she lay there for five days, exposed to the elements and eventually died.”
Mr. Mahama urged Ghanaians to remember that the Good Samaritan parable is not just a story, but a daily reality in our communities and societies. “We see someone in trouble and suffering, and we don’t have time or mercy to even go and see what’s happening to this person,” he lamented.
The former President’s words are a stark reminder of the need for Ghanaians to come together to address the humanitarian crises that are plaguing the country. As an investigation into the incident continues, Mr. Mahama’s call to compassion and action will likely resonate with many who are concerned about the state of healthcare in Ghana.
