Tragedy struck at the Ewim Polyclinic in the Cape Coast Metropolis when a 19-year-old law student, Nana Obeng Owusu Junior, died mysteriously within two minutes of receiving an unprescribed injection. The incident has raised concerns and sparked demands for a thorough investigation and accountability from the clinic.
The deceased, who was suffering from an asthma attack, was taken to the clinic for nebulizer treatment. However, instead of receiving the prescribed treatment, he was injected with an unidentified substance without proper assessment. The student reportedly passed away instantly after the injection was administered by a nurse named Michael.
The circumstances surrounding this tragic incident have prompted calls for the Ghana Health Service and security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and determine the cause of death. The bereaved family is seeking justice and answers.
Nelly Mills, the mother of the deceased, expressed shock and concern over the handling of the situation by the Ewim Polyclinic. She alleged that the clinic quickly arranged for a hearse and took her son’s body to the University of Cape Coast morgue without her consent. Furthermore, she claimed that they embalmed her son’s body without proper authorization.
The grieving mother’s demand for accountability and a comprehensive investigation is driven by the need for justice and closure. The family hopes that the authorities will uncover the truth behind the tragic incident and hold those responsible accountable.
Meanwhile, the Ewim Polyclinic declined to comment on the allegations when contacted by the Ghana News Agency.
In a separate incident, a promising student at Multimedia University in Kenya was found dead in the hostel washrooms. The fourth-year Mathematics and Computer Science student’s death is believed to be self-inflicted, according to initial investigations. Friends of the deceased disclosed that he had refused to accompany them for a night out prior to his death.
These incidents serve as a reminder of the fragility of life and the need for proper medical care and support for individuals in distress. The grieving families and the university community mourn the loss of these young lives and hope for a thorough investigation to provide answers and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
