Some prevalent forms of medical malpractice in Ghana include:
- Misdiagnosis: Leading to inappropriate or delayed treatment.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing or administering the wrong drug or dosage.
- Surgical Mistakes: Operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients.
- Negligent Prenatal Care: Resulting in harm to mothers or infants.
The lack of adequate medical equipment and overburdened healthcare workers often exacerbates these issues.
