Several showbiz personalities have commented on a viral video of a blackout at the Tema General Hospital as shared on social media platforms.
While the general sentiment is of disgust at the state of affairs as it impacts on the lives of newborns at the facility, there is also concern about the impact of rolling power outages.
Among those reacting on social media platforms are movie producer Yvonne Nelson, rapper Sarkodie and broadcaster Bridget Otoo.
