Mountains of human excreta have heaped for so long at the two female toilets that hosts ante-natal mothers who throng the Police Hospital in Accra, without a cleaner in sight to clear the mess.Last week following complaints made to THE SUN, the newspaper hop-stepped and jumped to the once esteemed hospital to have a look at the heap and discovered too that, urine with indescribable stench further compounded the problem.One hospital top-dog THE SUN spoke to on condition of anonymity said, the situation has followed this pattern for as long as anyone could imagine and directed the paper to the hospital’s administrators, who were not immediately available to answer prying questions one too many for a Hospital of such caliber.THE SUN discovered that only two toilets serve the horde of pregnant women, the elderly, the sick as well as young female outpatients. And perhaps never so strange to relate, water mixed with urine had poured and flooded the once squeaky-clean toilet floors which must have last seen a mop in 1981, when President Hilla Limann was in office.Mrs. Rhoda Accorley a pregnant woman of six months who insisted that THE SUN puts her on record, told of how pathetic the situation is on ante-natal days when doctors and nurses ask all pregnant women to use the facility to bring over urine samples for tests.“It is always a hell because women cannot urinate outside in public so we do not have a choice than to queue in there at the very dirty toilets, to do as the medical staff command,” the heavily pregnant Mrs. Accorley told THE SUN as she held the bridge of her nose.The paper saw pregnant women fetching water from a nearby pipe in buckets, which they said they poured so forcefully into the toilet pots yet, would not go down through the chamber on account of having caked beyond measure for weeks leading on to months.But it is indeed ironic that in 21st Century Ghana’s Police Hospital of all places, such a development exists in such a potentially explosive medical powder-keg, even after 50 years of the nation’s independence as a nation-state.Source: THE SUN
