A 51-year-old Ghanaian who contracted the deadly coronavirus and fully recovered has shared his experience to inspire others who undergoing treatment for the same ailment.
The man identified as Fred Drah in an interview with TV3’s Portia Gabor said he contracted the illness from his friend who came to Ghana not long ago from one of the infected countries abroad.
I work at the ports on my own. I had a friend who came to visit me. He imported mattresses and we had a chat and ate together. He was coughing by then but my mind was not there.
On 17th March, 2020 my temperature was above normal. I rushed to the hospital and the doctor said I have tested positive.
He was transferred to the Ga East Hospital where he got treated till he recovered.
The doctors were scared of me; I was locked from the outside and I was alone in that big compound. For the first four days. I was there alone.
He talked about one patient who was equally positive but passed away due to health complications.
It was between myself and God. One gentleman came in and he was very weak. He also tested positive for diabetes among others. We prayed a lot. I was called that I had to be sent to a different apartment. The following day I tried calling my friend many times but he had passed on.
