The fever also kept advancing with time so the doctors at the facility advised I take him to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital”. She told crimecheckghana.

At the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the poor woman says, her son was taken through an initial surgery where doctors took out unwanted liquid in the head. “I together with family members struggled to raise money for the surgery which was successful.
