Dr. Chris Aminarh


In the second part of a compelling two-part segment on 3Music TV’s Big Conversation, aired on August 11, 2025, Dr. Chris Aminarh, a prominent Ghanaian medical expert, delved deeper into the realities of amputation, focusing on recovery, rehabilitation, and the emotional and physical challenges faced by patients. The episode, available on 3Music TV’s YouTube channel, builds on the first part’s discussion of amputation causes and procedures, offering a comprehensive look at life after such a life-altering surgery.

Dr. Aminarh began by addressing the rehabilitation process, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. “Recovery from amputation is not just about physical healing; it’s about mental resilience and adapting to a new reality,” he stated. He highlighted the role of physiotherapy, prosthetic fitting, and psychological support in helping patients regain independence. He noted that advancements in prosthetic technology have improved outcomes, but access remains a challenge in Ghana due to high costs and limited availability.

The discussion also covered the emotional toll of amputation. Dr. Aminarh shared insights from patient stories, explaining how feelings of loss, stigma, and identity shifts can impact recovery. “Support systems—family, community, and counseling—are critical to helping patients navigate this journey,” he said, advocating for greater public awareness to reduce stigma around limb loss.

Drawing from his expertise, Dr. Aminarh addressed common complications post-amputation, such as phantom limb pain and infection risks, and stressed the importance of early intervention and follow-up care. He referenced cases like that of KSTP news anchor Chris Egert, who underwent a below-knee amputation and described it as a “new beginning” despite challenges, to illustrate the potential for positive outcomes with proper care.

The episode, hosted by 3Music TV’s Culture Squad, also touched on societal reintegration, with Dr. Aminarh calling for improved accessibility and inclusion for amputees in Ghana. “We need workplaces, public spaces, and policies that empower amputees to thrive,” he urged, pointing to the need for systemic change.

This second part of the amputation discussion resonated with viewers, sparking conversations on social media about resilience and healthcare access. The full episode is available on 3Music TV’s YouTube channel, offering valuable insights for patients, families, and healthcare professionals alike. Dr. Aminarh’s expertise and empathetic approach continue to position him as a trusted voice in Ghana’s medical community, advocating for better outcomes for those navigating life-changing medical procedures.
