Patient Waves At President Mahama, Dies The Next Minute

A woman believed to be in her fifties, on Saturday died shortly after waving at President John Mahama at the La General Hospital.

President Mahama had visited the hospital to get first-hand information on the capacity of the medical facility in handling the cholera epidemic and other related matters.

Upon entering the premises of the hospital, the President waved at the patients who had queued at the Information Desk waiting to be attended to by the attendants, before proceeding to the Out Patients Department (OPD) to visit those on admission.

The woman was among sick patients who had queued to see the doctor, and returned the President’s gesture by waving at him, while beaming with a broad smile.
Shortly afterwards, she collapsed, and all attempts by the hospital staff to resuscitate her proved futile.
