A Veterinarian is in the grips of the
Akatsi North Police for operating an
illegal abortion clinic.
The 62-year-old vet, known only as
Kwakuvi has been operating the illegal
clinic for about five years – and under
bizarre conditions.
Kwakuvi, a Togolese, performs
abortions only on specific days – on
market days of Ave Xevi, the Volta
Region town where he operates.
He also does not change syringes and
other sharp apparatus he uses during
abortion.
After a visit to the illegal clinic, where
police had gone to arrest Kwakuvi,
Akatsi North District Health Director, Dr.
Anthony Ashynyo, said he was
disgusted by the “horrible place”.
He urged the public to report any such
persons in the society to the police.
He attributed a rise in Hepatitis B and
HIV in the area to the activities of
Kwakuvi.
Meanwhile, Kwakuvi has declined
comment.
District Chief Executive for Akatsi North
James Gunu, said he will soon lead a
serious clampdown on such illegal
facilities in the area.
‘’We cannot condone and connive with
an illegality, especially when it has to do
with people’s lives. That is what we are
against,” he said.
