This, according to a report by citinewsroom.com, is for the negligence it caused the bereaved family of a 27-year-old woman during childbirth in November 2015. The baby, Yaw Nyamekye, is to receive GH¢100,000.00 in damages for pain and suffering, the General Jurisdiction 6 Division of the High Court ruled. Captain Nyamekye (Rtd), who is the husband of the deceased, as well as the father of the deceased subsequently sued the 37 Military Hospital for damages for loss of life, trauma and negligence, as well as general damages. The only logical confusion the court ought to come to is that the deceased died out of injuries caused her,” Justice Ackaah-Boafo said. By that, the court found the 37 Military Hospital liable for negligence of its staff which accounted for the death of the 27-year-old.
