” My sister this is what we go through in this kind of situations and we look up to only our creator to survive. I’m doubting if he will survive because that’s how exactly we loose our lives here.
We have to transport a dying person to the district capital and sometimes before we get there, the person will die on arrival or on the way.
A pregnant woman has to leave this community when she’s in her last month. We don’t have even chip compound for first aid before taking to the district capital.
And the most dangerous part of it all is when you get to the district capital and they tell you the situation is beyond them unless Yendi hospital.
Another hell of a travel, the road is just bad news and that’s another one and half hours or two hours before getting there. And on our way we have to pray we are not redirected to Tamale Teaching Hospital.
That’s the hell we go through because of poor road network. Our assembly man has tried his best but we just leave the rest to God.” — The women narrated to Hudu Salamatu
