A special committee looked into patient fees at Ridge Hospital and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. The committee found some staff broke rules.
These rules were about charging patients too much money for medical services. This practice was described as unethical.
The investigation was asked for by the Ministry of Health. A seven-member committee worked on this task. Dr. Inua led the committee.
The committee gave its findings to the Ministry of Health. They recommended that some staff members should face punishment.
The exact amount of extra charges and the number of staff involved are part of the report.
The Ministry of Health will now decide what happens next. This action follows the committee’s recommendations.
This matter concerns patients who may have been overcharged. It is important for hospitals to follow approved fee structures.
The hospitals mentioned are major health facilities in Accra serving many people.
