The entire hospital staff will be on the road. I am giving this signal that we will be on the road for almost 2 hours to drive home our demand. There should be a modernised speed ramp around this stretch. I can\u2019t understand. It is so tragic to see our colleague who hustles for bread losing a lot of blood to an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff at the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital in the Akuapem North Municipality in the Eastern Region are set to stage a peaceful protest today, November 1.
