General News of Sunday, 16 May 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Rev Prof Charles Ansah, has urged religious leaders to focus on praying for the sick and allow medical professionals to do their work with the appropriate scientific methods. He noted that under no circumstances should a pastor or a Mallam prevent any patient from taking his medication in the name of divine healing. Speaking to Rev Dr Kwabena Opuni Frimpong on GTV’s “What is Next?”, Rev Prof. Ansah noted that it is medically wrong and religious leaders had no business in deciding how a patient should be treated. He further called on colleague pastors to desist from giving out anointing oil and holy waters to patients on admission at the hospital and allow doctors to employ scientific methods to cure them. Let us pray for them but let us also allow the doctors to treat our patients for us,” he noted.
