He said the young doctors coming up think the situation at the various hospitals is normal. Dr Abdullah challenged the media houses to campaign for defibrillators in the hospitals so that the government will wake up and fix it because a defibrillator should be something basic for a hospital in Ghana. “If at the end, our healthcare system is better, and I see the angel of death coming, I’ll be smiling,” he said.
