The Ho High Court has fined Central Aflao Hospital GH¢5,000. The money is for costs in a legal case.
The hospital tried to change its defence late. This happened in a medical negligence lawsuit. Justice Rosemarie Afua Asante presided over the court.
The lawsuit was filed by the family of Linda Adua. She was a caterer who died.
The court ruling means the hospital made a late request. This request was to amend its statement of defence.
This case involves allegations of medical negligence. The family claims the hospital’s actions led to Linda Adua’s death.
Paying these costs is a step in the legal process. The underlying case about negligence will continue.
The court’s decision highlights the importance of timely legal actions. Hospitals and healthcare providers must adhere to court procedures.
