The Second Lady Samira Bawumia honour the delivering of keynote address at the opening of the 17th Biennial National Delegates Congress of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
The GRNMA congress, which is being held at the Forest Hotel at Dodowa in Greater Accra from November 25 to 29, 2019 is to take major decisions to address challenges facing the profession that affect quality care delivery.
The GRNMA,founded in March 1960,is a professional Association of Ghanaian nurses and midwives enrolled by the Nurses and midwives Council of Ghana.
Around 12 midday, Mrs Bawumia mounted the dais to deliver her address but a few minutes into it, she requested for water.
After drinking the water, she complained of dizziness and was momentarily seen going down.
Her aides and security detail rushed to hold her and administered the necessary first aid whilst the perimeter was cordoned off.
A stretcher was quickly drawn from one of the vehicles in the Second Lady’s convoy.
Mrs Bawumia was cordoned off and later conveyed to one of the vehicles before the convoy moved out of the hotel.
She was grateful to the professionals present,for their timely intervention after she succumbed to the heat at the conference venue. Thank you all for the well wishes.
