American entertainer, Michael Blackson has raised concerns about the quality of healthcare at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) following the death of his mother at the facility.
In his post on X, the comedian said the hospital’s appearance did not reflect what he described as problems with patient care.
“The University of Ghana Medical Centre is kinda new and looks beautiful from the outside, but inside are not the best medical personnel,” he wrote.
Blackson alleged that some staff members lacked sympathy towards patients and families.
“In my opinion, the staff have no sympathy and don’t give a damn about the patients,” he stated.
He also claimed that his sister had a physical altercation with a male nurse at the facility and that the nurse later involved the police while the family was at the hospital identifying his mother’s body.
Beyond his personal experience, Blackson said he had spoken to others who also shared similar experiences.
“When I told a few people where she d!ed, they all told me they lost their loved ones there,” he wrote.
He advised Ghanaians living abroad who plan to return home after retirement to consider travelling abroad for regular medical checks.
