Suwaiba
is a woman. She went to deliver a baby at the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
in Kumasi (KATH). She says she had a live baby. KATH says it was a stillbirth.
She demanded the body of her baby, but for more than two weeks, KATH has
neither given her the baby nor its body. Suwaiba derserves to take her baby
home for outdooring or its body home for burial.
We the
undersigned demand of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection
the following:
1. That
Suwaiba’s baby or its body be given to her; or
2. All
persons on whose watch this despicable and irresponsible act happened resign
immediately and be made to face the full riggours of the law.
Speak up
for Suwaiba. Speak up for responsibility and accountability to all Ghanaians irrespective of creed, colour or status.
Stand up for human rights. Stand up for maternal health.
Add your signature and like this
page to show your support to the course of justice for all. We all deserve to live in a society that cares about human
rights for each and everyone .
Suwaiba could
have been you, your sister, wife, mother or auntie. That missing baby could
have been you, when you were being born.
please hear our plea, all we need is a logical explanation. You have no right to bury a still born without showing it to the family. Why does this matter have to take long a time and public out cry before something is done about this issue?
