Roof oF Theatre Caves in During Live Surgery in Ghana

The roof of the main surgical ward which

contains the obstetrics and gynecology ward at

the Effia Nkwanta Hospital, Ghana has caved in

during surgery. The surgery which was being

undertaken on three pregnant patients had to

be halted when the unfortunate incident

occurred.

Doctors had to transfer the patients to the

Kwesi Mintim Hospital for the process to

continue. One of them died and some have

attributed her death to the incident. But the

Medical Director of hospital, Dr Kwau Ntodi

denied this. He said the lady could have died

even if the incident had not occurred because

she had a ruptured uterus. Her death,

therefore, he said, could not have been as a

result of the movement from the hospital to

another.

The medical officer who attended to the lady

upon arrival at the Kwesi Mintim hospital said

that the baby had already died before they

arrived at the hospital. The other two patients

are in good condition.

India has recorded their first case of

Harlequin Ichthyosis. A baby girl, Maharashtra who was born in Nagpur, is believed to have Harlequin Ichthyosis, a severe genetic disorder which leaves the entire body encased in armour-like thick white plates, separated by deep cracks leaving no skin on the body.

The baby was born by caesarean section to a 23-year-old woman from the city of Amravati in Indian at the Lata Mangeshkar Medical College and Hospital.

Doctors say the child will have to face daily treatments and daily moisturizing in order to survive the condition. They say they’re applying petroleum jelly and coconut oil onto the child’s skin and giving her a special nutritional supplement.

Paediatrician Dr Yash Banait said:

“There is no cure for this disorder. All that medical science can do is try to keep the baby alive.”
