Background

The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Mr. Opoku Mensah  is reported to have stormed Manhyia Hospital to insult a nurse on duty over her daughter being invited to complete a procedure she undertook as a House Officer.

It is unclear what provoked the insults but an audio recording available to MyNewsGh.com captures an enraged Regional Director running down the nurse while suggesting that she is comes nowhere close to his daughter who is a House Officer

MyNewsGh.com gathers the daughter of the NSS Boss had earlier done a procedure on a patient but there were some complications and was invited over.

She in turn invited father who took an offense and stormed the facility in anger.
