A special committee has finished investigating complaints about unexpected charges at Ridge Hospital and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. These charges were for services patients should not have had to pay extra for.
The seven-member committee looked into claims of unethical medical practices. They found that some staff members were involved in these unapproved charges.
The committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Ministry of Health. The report suggests that disciplinary steps should be taken against some hospital staff.
This investigation was ordered because patients reported being charged too much for medical services.
The Ministry of Health will now review the committee's report and decide on the next steps.
This action aims to ensure fair billing practices in public hospitals.
