E/R: Donkorkrom health workers issue two-week ultimatum over rising insecurity

Health workers at Donkorkrom Presbyterian Hospital have issued a two-week ultimatum. They demand urgent action to stop armed robberies in the Afram Plains district.

Wearing red armbands and neckbands, the workers protested peacefully in Donkorkrom. They expressed their fear and frustration over worsening security conditions.

In a petition delivered to local leaders, they raised concerns about safety. This includes the safety of patients and residents in the area.

The hospital's two doctors warned they might withdraw services by Friday. They stated, "Our lives are at risk every day." If no action is taken, they will lay down their tools.

The health professionals are calling for immediate security measures. They want sustained interventions to restore safety in Afram Plains. This situation highlights broader insecurity challenges for rural health workers. The government and law enforcement must respond decisively.
