This baby was born approximately five minutes before the photo was taken. It was born to a healthy mother in a well-run private clinic.

Though not as well-funded as its European counterparts, private clinics in Ghana are cleaner and are run more efficiently than the government clinics.

The government health system, on the other hand, is cumbersome, archaic and under-funded. The filing system is not computerised and patients are kept in a long queues for treatments.
