Does this need to be here

I am not sure of the relevance of the following sentence in the Career section.

In Ghana, primary health care issues such as malaria and limited childhood vaccinations, are greatly underserved due to lack of infrastructure, lack of funding, transportation, and quality and safety, making skilled speciality care a luxury often attained only by those rich enough to leave the country.

I am inclined to remove it if there are no objections. It seems to have been lifted from the New York Times article on Frimpong-Boateng which incidentally contained some inaccuracies.--Natsubee 11:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By all means remove it if it appears "lifted," as I think I wrote that, but got it from a WHO article, coupled with direct sourcing about Frimpong-Boateng, but certainly never intended to plagiarize another work. Always remove in this case. Whether or not a newspaper article contained inaccuracies is not reason for removing a specific comment, without additional sources that point out the inaccuracies. What else is inaccruate in the NYTimes article, and did you contact the Times about the inaccuracies to see if there exists a retraction or correction? That a sentence is copied from another source is reason sufficient to remove it. KP Botany 02:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I read the newspaper article in the times, an interview actually, and don't see how this sentence was lifted from it. Please, cut and paste the sentence from the Times article to show me. Thank you. KP Botany 02:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was not implying plagiarism. By lifted, I meant quoted from there. I have checked and I must have been mixed up with something else. Although the Cardiothoracic Centre has made heart surgery cheaper, it is still one of the most expensive treatments to get in Ghana and continues to be out of the reach of many. I however agree that it is a significant step forward for healthcare in Ghana.--Natsubee 00:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's quoted from there, which it does not appear to be, then by all means add quotes and cite the source--this is, indeed, plagiarism. KP Botany 03:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Superlatives

The first heart-lung transplant was in 1981, the first black person to do a heart transplant was I believe an associate of Christian Barnard's in South Africa in the 1960s, although his role was not revealed at the time due to the problems it would have created with the apartheid regime. Certainly the former point throws doubt on the sources that support F-B's claim to have been first, therefore I am pulling both the sources and the claims. I suggest that the rest of the article needs careful examination for unreliable sources. Rich Farmbrough, 08:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]

O levels

"He did the O-level examination within four years, from 1964-1968." Normally O levels would be taken from age 14-16 - this would be 1964-1966. Regardless this seems unnecessary minutiae. Rich Farmbrough, 08:45, 25 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
