The first lady ,Rebecca Akufo Addo , is leading a campaign to raise funds to support the mother and child unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital which has become a death trap for new born babies and their mothers.
The unit has since 1954 not seen any expansion despite the growing number of people seeking health care.
Four babies die at the facility everyday due to congestion and infections .
The incubator meant to cater for three babies at a time, now accommodates seven to eight of them.
Mrs. Rebecca Akufo Addo speaking at the launch of the “Save a Child ,Save a Mother campaign”, said the new facility which is to be constructed within three to four months will require an initial capital of 10 million cedis.
