How often, if at all do you see patients from smaller villages nearby Kumasi? I was in Ghana in the spring time, in the village of Boabeng roughly 2-3 hours north of Kumasi, the sister of one of our field assistants died suddenly on our last day. My entirely inexperienced guess was that perhaps it was a heart attack. Knowing that there is usually little to no ambulance service as we in Canada or the states would necessarily recognize especially in very rural villages, even if the people in the village knew the warning signs and symptoms for something like that, what do you think the chances of getting to a hospital, even as close as Nkoranza and surviving be? Or would there effectively be nothing really they could do in time given the lack of medial infrastructure?
