A committee looked into claims of unfair charges at Ridge Hospital and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. These hospitals are in Accra. The committee found that some staff were charging patients more money than allowed.
These illegal charges are considered unethical medical practices. The committee was formed to investigate these claims thoroughly.
The seven-member committee presented its report to the Ministry of Health. The ministry will now decide on the next steps.
The committee recommended disciplinary measures. These measures are aimed at staff members who were found to be responsible for the unapproved charges.
The investigation focused on ensuring fair treatment for all patients. Patients should not be charged extra money for medical services.
The Ministry of Health has received the committee's findings. They will review the recommendations carefully.
