A mother is demanding justice after her newborn baby sustained a deep cut near the ear during a caesarean.
According to reports, the incident happened at the Jasikan District Hospital.
In a post shared on X by GHOne TV, on Monday, November 17, 2025, read, “A mother in the Oti Region is seeking justice after her newborn allegedly suffered a deep cut near the ear during a cesarean at Jasikan District Hospital.
The family says they were not informed of the injury before being discharged.
The baby was transferred to another hospital for treatment, and the family is demanding answers from the hospital and health authorities. No statement has been issued by the facility”.
Meanwhile, the Jasikan District Hospital has yet to release a statement regarding the news.
Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “You know they sign a consent form before the procedure. They’re using knives and scissors to cut open the womb. It can happen to the Best of surgeons. Yes the hospital was in the wrong for not informing the parent. The suing should be geared towards that, to foster communication”.
“Some of you are saying ‘complications’ occur only because it’s not your family member who’s the victim.
What stops a health professional or facility from being truthful to their patient about what happened during a surgical procedure and offering empathetic care?
Your attempts to excuse potential medical negligence and malpractice in this country are disgusting”, another netizen added.
One more X user added, “Accountability is what we fear in this country. And that’s why we are never moving forward. If mistakes are made, let’s hold people accountable. Then we learn, then we grow. In other news, a former prime minister is sentenced to death”
Additionally, another netizen added, “My sister’s own was worse, her cheeks were cut open and they had the courage to stick a newborn baby’s cheek. She still has the scars wide on her face, she is 21 now”.
In related news, A three-day-old baby has been dumped along the Kasoa Okrudu River in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
Reports suggest the mother is the alleged perpetrator of the shocking act.
According to eyewitnesses reported that animals had begun consuming the baby’s body when it was discovered.
The reasons for the act remain unknown, though the mother is alleged to be involved.
One male resident, “I was shocked when I saw this. I had to ask some of the elderly women in the area, who confirmed that the baby was not more than three days old. The baby is dead.”
Another witness stated, “The head is decomposing. The baby is dead. It is unfortunate. I don’t understand why someone would abandon the baby here.”
Also, Awutu Senya East Municipal NADMO Director confirmed the incident, stating that police are working to apprehend the suspect, while the baby’s body has been taken to the Police Hospital mortuary for investigations.
“We are working in collaboration with the Police to apprehend the one behind the incident. It occurred at the Kasoa Timber Market”.
