A deeply concerning video has surfaced online showing critically ill patients at Lekma Hospital in Teshie, Accra, receiving medical treatment while seated on plastic chairs.
The footage, which has since gone viral, paints a troubling picture of the current state of healthcare infrastructure at the facility.
In the video, several visibly weak and unwell individuals can be seen lined up on white plastic chairs, undergoing various forms of treatment—highlighting a severe shortage of hospital beds or resources to accommodate them adequately.
Lekma Hospital, a major medical facility in the capital, has yet to issue a statement clarifying the circumstances behind the incident or the reasons for resorting to such a setup for patient care.
The sight has sparked public outrage and concern, with many calling for an immediate investigation into the situation.
It remains unclear whether this condition is due to overcrowding, resource constraints, or systemic neglect.
However, the viral footage has reignited discussions about the urgent need for improvements in Ghana’s public health sector and better emergency preparedness at healthcare centers.
As the video continues to circulate, many are demanding answers from hospital administrators and the Ministry of Health regarding how such conditions could be allowed in a facility located in the capital city.
