The Head of the Maternity Unit of the Trust Hospital at Osu in the Accra, Mrs. Veronica Tagoe, has hinted that for the past one and a half years, there has not been any maternal death recorded at the Hospital. According to Mrs. Tagoe, the ward records about sixty (60) delivery cases within a month. "We do about sixty deliveries a month averagely in the last quarter and there was no maternal death last year". Mrs. Tagoe revealed this to Asempa News in an interview when the news team sought to find out activities at the ward and how authorities are trying to curb the high rate of maternal mortality in the country. She stated that there is nothing like overcrowding in the hospital as is being experienced by other hospitals throughout the nation, and that when patients increase, there are plans to accommodate them. "When you come and the place is full, we have beds upstairs on the other wards and the patients are sent there to rest". Trust Hospital however says the only secret to this achievement was due to intensive education the hospital gives to pregnant women on how to take care of themselves during pregnancy and the responsibility of the hospital to continue monitoring these pregnant women when they come to deliver. "They are monitored during admission, and when they are ready to deliver, we bring them to the labour wards, so we don't experience any overcrowding here". Mrs. Tagoe added that because the people who come there are few, their monitoring mechanism is also very effective. As part of the visit, Asempa News took part in one of the ante-natal class where pregnant women were taken through a lot of education on how to take care of themselves, and when to report to the hospital in case of any emergencies. A dietician who was also present educated the women about the kind of foods to eat to ensure healthy living. Opportunities were given to the pregnant women to ask any questions that bother them on their pregnancy and delivery, while the initiator of the class took her time to answer all questions. It was also observed that, the environment at the ward was very serene, neat and tidy. No bad smells. Everything was in order. Windows well covered with mosquito nets to prevent mosquitoes from entering the ward. It is therefore worrisome to find that these plans are not being replicated in other government hospitals which continue to record high maternal mortality figures that may stall Ghana’s attempt to achieve its target in reducing maternal mortality as per the millennium development goals of the United Nations.
