Pregnant women who are due for delivery share beds with men at the maternity ward of the South Senchi health center in Asuogyaman in the Eastern Region of Ghana. 

The Midwife In-charge of the health center, Agnes Malomey, is unhappy about the way the facility has to accommodate men and women in the same ward which has four beds.

According to her, women who are due for delivery become uncomfortable because they complain the men who are admitted to the facility look at their nakedness apart from the fact that the practice is unhealthy.

She wants government intervention to halt the practice.

She also complains about the lack of facilities for health delivery in the area culminating in many pregnant women delivering their babies on the floor before being attended to. 

The In-charge said this when a New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters group, Professionals Political for Action (PPA), renovated the heath center and also donate some drugs to the facility as part of their social responsibilities.

She said the health facility is grateful for the group assisting the clinic, stressing the workers are not being political with that comment. 

Citing other challenges of the hospital, she said they risk their lives, especially at night when attending to emergency cases. They, therefore, want bungalows near the facility to solve this problem. 

Also, the orderlies go to fetch water with buckets, which Madam Malomey would want help to fix at the facility. 

The in-charge is appealing, therefore, appealing to others organisations and individuals who can help to come forth because the facility needs a lot of logistics and equipment to work.
