Feature: No-Bed Syndrome Part (6): Leadership defines who owns the flow

The Chronicle describes a case in Accra in which an ambulance moved between three major facilities in search of capacity. Each hospital reported no available bed. The article states that "No-Bed Syndrome" is not only an operational problem, but a governance problem.

The article examines how patients get stuck, how admission does not always mean movement, and how discharge delays quietly block capacity. It also examines why data and transparency matter. The article states that overcrowding in the emergency department is not merely uncomfortable for patients, but clinically dangerous.

The article says that when patients are told there is no bed, they interpret that as a system failure. The article concludes that flow does not organize itself, and is either deliberately managed or quietly neglected.
