After visiting the school last Friday, Dr. Adutwum shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the incident was deeply saddening. The first-year student, Stacy Okyere, passed away on Sunday, February 4, after complaining of stomach pains.
The school authorities have faced criticism amid allegations that Stacy was denied medical attention by the school nurse, who reportedly accused her of pretending to be ill repeatedly.
