30 STILL ON ADMISSION (PAGE 3)

THE 30 people who were injured in last Thursday's accident at Dompoase, near the Komenda Junction, are receiving treatment at the Central Regional Hospital in Cape Coast.
Two have, however, been transferred to the 37 Military Hospital and the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for further management, at the request of the institutions they work for.
The eight-month-old baby girl, Naa Adoley Thompson, who survived the fatal accident has also been re-united with her mother, Mrs Vivian Thompson of the Home Finance Company in Accra.
Two of the victims are at the Intensive Care Unit of the Cape Coast Regional Hospital, while two others have been treated and discharged.
These came to light during a visit by the Central and Western Regional ministers, Nana Ato Arthur and Mr A. E. Amoah, respectively, to the hospital at the weekend to find out the condition of the injured and how the hospital was coping with the situation.
They were accompanied by the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Peter Mac Manu, and the National Campaign Manager of the party, Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku, who is also the Member of Parliament for Offinso South.
Both Nana Arthur and Mr Amoah commended the doctors, the nurses and all involved for the effort and commitment with which they handled the situation.
Nana Arthur, on behalf of the Central Regional Co-ordinating Council, pledged GH¢1,500 for the upkeep of the injured at the hospital.
The two regional ministers advised drivers to exercise maximum caution on the roads to reduce accidents.
The Senior Nursing Officer in charge of the Intensive Care Unit of the Female Ward, Mrs Efia Ofori Atakora, who conducted the visitors round the wards where the injured were on admission, said the injured were responding to treatment and expressed the hope that they would recover soon.
