General Secretary of GMA, Dr. Justice Yankson attributed this to the surge in the country's case count of coronavirus. He pointed out that this could lead the country to experience a third wave of the virus which is fast spreading. So clearly, this could be the beginning of potentially another third wave...Our ability to handle severe critical cases in terms of ICU spaces, generally as a country we don’t have enough space for that category of persons. Another concern raised by Dr. Yankson is inadequate oxygen and other equipment at the major hospitals in the country. Ridge Hospital, according to myjoyonline report has 16 ICU beds, with 8 beds already occupied.
