Compassionate?

BBC reports, " Ghana's High Commissioner in London has appealed to Britain to reverse its decision to fly a terminally ill woman back to the African country.

Ama Sumani was taken from a Cardiff hospital on Wednesday where she has been receiving dialysis after cancer damaged her kidneys.

Ms Sumani, 39, whose visa has expired, says she cannot afford care in Ghana.

High Commissioner Annan Cato urged the government on Radio Four's The World Tonight to allow her back to the UK.

He said the decision to deport her was regrettable and he appealed to the UK, which he said he considered to be a "very compassionate country". "

I see no compassion from the UK nor from the Ghanian hospital that would not treat her unless she had funds for more than three month's treatment.
