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.

One hundred people now demand answers for Suwaiba while the hospital continues their pathetic silence. Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital thinks they can treat a mother like garbage and hide the truth but this is only the beginning of our pressure.

The administration at KATH continues to hide behind silence while Suwaiba suffers in agony. They think they can bury this tragedy along with the truth but we are forcing them into the light. We will not stop until they answer for this stolen life.

The administration at KATH thinks we will just go away while they hide the truth about Suwaiba's baby. We are almost at one hundred signatures so push this link out to your networks right now to prove them wrong. They need to see that this corruption will not be ignored.

How I wish am a legal practitioner to take up the issue up Suwaiba for free. the poor are just being treated unfairly when it's come to the LAW AND JUSTICE. The baby must be found dead or alive and a DNA test be done to prove him/her as the right baby of the mother
So can't the Police, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Gender, Children & Social Protection & all Civil Society Groups & Individuals press on the authorities of KATH to return SUWEIBA’s baby dead or alive? Is this too much to ask? Please hear the cry of an innocent poor mother.
It's really heart breaking to know we live in a hyppocritical country where there are selective human right advocate. I personally think suwaiva's baby must be found weather dead or alive. This is just unfair and un human.
Suwaiba deserves the dignity of knowing the where about of her baby in whatever state/form. It's not a favour but her right: the innocent infant, the family and indeed all Ghanaians. Our health institutions must be accountable to the people they serve.
This is not new to me there was a similar case involving the same hospital which was talked about on the radio station.It is time something is done about this who knows it could happen to any of us
i share in the lady's loss, she deserves to know the truth about what actually happened.
Prosecute all persons involved in the theft of Suwaiba's baby

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?
