Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has interdicted four health workers. This includes two medical doctors and two nurses. They are involved in a case where emergency care was allegedly not provided.
The health workers were on duty when a hit-and-run victim was brought to the hospital. Hospital authorities stated the decision to interdict them is part of internal steps. This is to allow for a full and fair investigation.
The victim was pronounced dead after seeking help. The specific circumstances of the alleged lapse in care are being examined.
Management of the hospital has assured that they are committed to upholding standards of patient care. They also aim to ensure accountability.
The interdiction means the staff members are temporarily removed from their duties. This is to prevent any interference with the ongoing investigation.
Further details about the investigation process and its findings will be released by the hospital in due course.
