In Ga East, Ghana, a road meant to carry the sick toward healing has become an obstacle to survival itself. Member of Parliament Elikplim Akurugu, standing at the gates of Ga East Municipal Hospital on Mother's Day, gave voice to a quiet emergency: that broken asphalt between a community and its hospital is not merely an inconvenience but a sentence — one that has already claimed lives lost in transit. Her appeal reminds us that infrastructure is never neutral; it is either a bridge toward human dignity or a barrier against it.
