Nana Addo went round the different wards and sympathized with the victims on a personal basis describing it as �a fatal incident that has dealt a big blow to many families and the entire nation.� He said �there�s not much that one can say in times like this, except to continue to pray to God to keep the souls of the dead in a good place whilst asking for his protection over those who survived, bearing in mind that only He knows why things happen the way they do.� The NPP leader also congratulated the doctors and nurses of the hospital for demonstrating enormous care for the victims and working around the clock to save as many as they could adding that. He said �the Ghanaian people are fortunate to have such dedicated professionals serving us.� He donated an amount of GH�5,000 to cater for the cost of treatment for the hospitalized victims.
