A woman in active labour was left lying on the floor without medical assistance in North Tongu, emphasizing ongoing concerns about access to healthcare in the area.
The incident, which unfolded on Monday, April 13, saw the woman enduring severe pain with no trained health professional present.
Witnesses said she had been waiting for help from a local elder, as no immediate medical support was available.
A passerby who came across the scene intervened and offered to transport her to the nearest health facility, which was several miles away.
The woman was reportedly forced to move through intense labour pains to reach transportation before beginning the journey for care.
The case has drawn attention to the challenges faced by residents in accessing timely medical services, particularly in emergencies. For many in the area, reaching a health facility can involve long distances and delays, even in life threatening situations.
