She has a lot of sympathy and admiration for staff and had seen them being yelled at by frustrated patients.
Mahama has already set up what he calls Operation Recover All Loot (Oral), aimed at investigating state funds and assets allegedly stolen by outgoing government officials.Dr Asah-Asante said Mahama should demand financial accountability from the outgoing government during a handover phase so that "whatever has gone wrong, he will be able to right" as soon as his government takes office next month.
The analyst added that Mahama, who will be inauguratedwhen President Akufo-Addo steps down after his two terms in office, had no choice but to meet the expectations of Ghanaians - or else they would "punish his government the way they have punished the NPP".Mahama succinctly acknowledged this in his victory speech, saying: "Expectations of Ghanaians are very high, and we cannot afford to disappoint them.

Sussex Surplus was created to tackle this problem, and is now serving hot meals to at least 100 people on the Whitehawk estate in Brighton each week.
"The narrative of surplus food is about the idea that people are coming to help us solve a problem, to help the environment and community. It then becomes about what they can do for us, not what we can do for them," said the charity's founder, Ingrid Wakeling.The independent commission, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey, will begin work in April but is not due to publish its final report until 2028.
Sarah Woolnough, chief executive of health think-tank The King's Fund, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the timescale "feels far too long" and urged the government to look at measures that could be implemented sooner.Other councils and care providers have said the final 2028 report is too long to wait for the long-term reform of vital services already on their knees.
The commission comes alongside immediate government plans to get care workers to do more health checks, and a funding boost for services to help elderly and disabled people remain in their homes.It will be split into two phases, the first of which will report by mid-2026 and identify critical issues and recommend medium-term improvements.
