St Martin’s: Hysteria, cause of mass fainting – Hospital

The administrator at the Nsawam Government Hospital, Kofi Kolan, has explained that hysteria is the cause of the collapse of some students of St Martin’s Senior High School in Nsawam in the Eastern Region.

Some 20 students of the school collapsed on Sunday night and Monday morning.

The incident comes on the heels of the death of some students of Kumasi Academy from Influenza type A H1N1 2009 pandemic strain (Swine Flu).




Mr Kolan told Accra News’ Eastern Regional correspondent Kofi Michel that: “The fundamental factor is that it is not true that it is the same case like KUMACA in Kumasi. I am told by my doctors that it is a case of hysteria (exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement) among the students. They are about to write exams and the fear of exams is what is happening.”

He added: “We are examining them and nothing is wrong with them, we have not even admitted anybody.”
