The Covid-19 which hit Ghana sent the Country into one of its worst states in history.

Corona Virus is not a respecter of persons, race, religion, culture or personality. Some popular people such as the British prime Minister Borris Johnson as well as actors like Edris Elba contracted the disease.

It was no different in Ghana. Joy FM's Gary Al-Smith contracted same and had to be admitted to the Hospital mid-June.

He was released and discharged about a week ago and is doing well.

Upon his discharge, he voiced out his concerns as a journalist on the state of our health system. However, this was met with skeptism and outrage from some users on social media. Others too rooted for change in the health system upon reading his message.

Late on 1st July, Gary reiterated his previous comments on twitter about the health care sytem. This particular concern was on the delays in testing and the administration of drugs to patients. He made comments on how drugs and testing are given based on 'who you know' basis. Below is the ace journalist's tweet:

Prior to that, Bright Simons, the Vice President of IMANI disclosed his dissatisfaction on how health workers are complaining about politicians who are acting oblivious to the increasing numbers of Covid-19.

In his post, he reports that the health workers threaten to disregard the health of these politicians themselves since they cannot make policies to curb the growing rate of the virus. The health workers also mention that it is those same politicians who call them for advise anytime they think there is a potential symptom of Covid-19, in fear of their own health.

Below is the tweet of Bright Simons:

Gary Al-Smith seems to agree with the stance of the health workers and Bright Simons as well in his tweet.

Gary ended with a message to Ghanaians: "Oman a y3np3 nokor3"

Like, share and leave a comment below. Does the Government have to change its tactics to to curb the growing rate of the virus so that our frontline health workers can feel more at peace? Or is this propaganda being pushed?
