The Kukurantumi Community College of Health in the Abuakwa North Municipality of Eastern Region has held its 2nd matriculation for over 20 students who are willing to join the health profession.
The Medical Officer of Community Hospital- Kukurantumi, Dr. Charles Owusuhene Debrah said, over 60 students applied but after their scout they picked only 20 students to teach them for now.
He stated, working on human being at the hospital is so difficult and every patients who have come to the hospital to seek for medication don’t exercise patience because he or she may be suffering at that moment.
Dr. Owusuhene Debrah added, as they have taken steps to join the health profession, I will urge them to exercise restraint for the patients.
“Most at times I got peeved if I hear patients are calling nurses for support and they refused to attend to them” he noted.
Dr. Charles Debrah adds, as a nurse no matter how troublesome patients may be, they must see them as their own mother, father, brother, sister and etc and attend to them when it matters most since they’re there due to sickness.
He told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview stating that, they will plead with the gov’t to provide them with some PPE’s because patients always come to the hospital with different diseases.
He further stated, the Ghana gov’t is doing well but we pray the Ghana gov’t established more hospitals to post nurses who have stayed home for long to help save lives.
“Already the Doctors are very few than the nurses and if we have a limited number of nurses at our various hospitals, clinics and etc it makes our job so difficult” he said.
Dr. Debrah added, as a result of few Doctors and Nurses the nature of the job requires multiple work that’s why sometimes you could see nurses getting angry at patients. But expressed their unhappiness about it.
He therefore advised the newly students to be courageous in their decision they have taken to serve humanity. Alerting that choosing to be a nurse is a big task.
Later on some of the students spoke to Kingdom News and said, they are ready to serve the country.
“They added that, nursing job is a sacrificial job and is not everybody who are willing to go into it but as for us we are to save people’s live”
