St. Anthony Ann Hospital-Donyina
Sr. Marie Ritkatmwa and Sr. Stella shared with us their experience as Health Workers at “St. Anthony Ann Hospital, Donyina.
Coronavirus is a newly identified strain of the virus. SARS-CoV-2 has caused a worldwide Pandemic of respiratory illness, called COVID-19. This disease began from the seafood market at Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
The first two cases of corona virus in Ghana were confirmed on the 12th day of March 2020 when two infected people came to Ghana.
At the peak of Covid19 pandemic, the situation of St. Anthony Ann Hospital was boiling and steaming with the following effects:
Physical Impact of COVID-19
Changes in worship
Psychological Impact on people caused by COVID-19
Some Psychological impact exhibited by some staff and patients/Clients are:
Financial Impact of COVID 19
Despite the donations of the PPES the facility is spending a lot on these items just to ensure that both staff, patients/clients and members of the Community are protected.
CONCLUSION
As a health worker, I see the invasion of coronavirus as one of the outbreaks of diseases that have affected humanity. This virus is so deadly that it has claimed thousands of lives irrespective of class or status -rich and poor alike and is left at the mercy of God.
