Security Beefed Up At Ridge Hospital After Staff Assault
Security has been beefed up at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge) following an alleged assault of medical personnel on duty over the weekend.
This was communicated by the Ministry of Health in a statement issued on Monday.
“Beef up security at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital to ensure the safety of staff, patients, and the general public.”
“The Ministry of Health has taken note of the unfortunate incident that occurred at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge) Emergency Department and categorically condemns the act of interference, aggression, and assault on health workers.”
It noted that the safety and protection of healthcare workers remain a top priority, adding that it will not countenance any acts that threaten their well-being or disrupt essential healthcare delivery.
It, however, announced the commencement of an investigation into the circumstances that led to the reported delay in care in order to address any gaps that may have contributed to the incident.
“We call on the public to exercise patience, cooperation, and mutual respect at all times to enable healthcare workers to provide effective and timely care.”
