The father of the late Aburi Girls SHS student has accused the school of negligence. The student had reported to the school management that she was not feeling well. The nurses at the post in the school’s internal health facility did not take her reports of having stomach pains seriously because they believed she was consistently fabricating a medical condition.
She passed on as a result of the lack of medical attention from the school.
Father of late Aburi Girls SHS student accused the school of negligence -Provides sad details of what happened to his deceased daughter
The father of the late Aburi Girls SHS student shared his pain about the unfortunate death of her daughter, who was enrolled in the school. “The school has killed my child, and when the issue happened, they had the guts to sit me down to tell me they would buy the coffin and provide an ambulance. If I did not have money, would I have brought my child to school in the first place?” He quizzed in response to the mindset and wrongdoing of the school and its management.
He disclosed that upon arrival at the Aburi Girls SHS, his daughter was lying on the floor and unconscious while the house mistress was sitting on a chair.
“When I got to the school, my daughter was lying on the floor, and she was unconscious. Meanwhile, the housemistress was sitting on a chair. My wife started screaming and crying.
I was so shocked at what I saw that I became weak all of a sudden.

The father of the girl who was in pain added that he tried his best to keep the child alive after picking her up and rushing her to the hospital, but she was pronounced dead by the doctors upon arrival at the health facility.
“I carried my daughter from the floor and rushed her to the car. My friend drove us to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital, and while we were in the car, I kept blowing air through my daughter’s mouth to keep her alive.”
“When we got to Mampong, I carried her on my back, and when the doctors saw her, they knew she was already gone.”
The death of the student has raised major concerns about the proactiveness of health workers in our hospitals and school facilities and their unprofessional response to the medical needs and attention of people who go to them for health care services.
