Ralph St. Williams, a Ghanaian political activist, has been trending online after a video of him in a heated exchange with some nurses at the Ridge Hospital. He was heard chastising the nurses, claiming they had neglected a patient he had sent to the hospital on Monday, August 18, 2025.
Moments after his video went viral, the management of Ridge Hospital denied his claims of neglect and accused him of physically assaulting some nurses.
According to the hospital's management, the chaos created by Ralph St. Williams and a group of men accompanying him led to the injury of one nurse, who also lost her phone.
A Facebook post on the hospital’s official page on August 20 stated that the management had gifted a new mobile phone to the nurse after she lost her old one during a mob attack at the emergency unit.

Ralph St. Williams denies Ridge Hospital's claims
However, Ralph St. Williams responded to allegations of assault, describing the nurse as a pretender.
He denied attacking the nurse, stating that the woman showed no evidence of being assaulted when he was leaving the hospital.
"This is funny and painful, where we have such a system that allows people to pretend and lie. Everyone who is sensible and smart, when they watch this video, will know the girl was pretending and acting.
"At what point did I hit you? At what point did I, Ralph, touch you? Every time people do this. We are fixing the system, and we will do everything to fix it. I am not afraid in any way. The majority of people have experienced this. They are doing this to cover their nonsense, irresponsibility, and negligence."

Reactions to Ralph St. Williams' Ridge altercation
The CCTV footage has triggered mixed reactions among Ghanaians. Below are some of the comments YEN.com.gh sighted.
Odoo Pa BA said:
"Those saying he did not beat any nurse on duty, is that how a nurse or person at work should be treated? We all saw how he threw his hands at the nurse. Let’s take the political lens out."
Prissy Ekua Adiepena Hemans said:
"So is that the part that broke the nurse’s arm? 😂😂😂😂😂 I mean the one she used to accept the 800gh and phone."
Charles Osei Prempeh said:
"He had no right to video the patients in the first place because that was an abuse of patients' rights. Assault can be verbal or physical. Somewhere, his action can be considered a second-degree felony."
Eric Manteaw said:
"So the guy is still walking freely, the health service must act to prevent such things from happening again. With that touch, I just saw it’s an assault."
GRNMA calls for Ralph St Williams' arrest
