The Management of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has interdicted two medical doctors and two nurses following allegations of professional negligence regarding an emergency patient.
The disciplinary action comes in the wake of a tragic incident involving a hit-and-run victim who reportedly died after the staff allegedly failed to provide the necessary emergency medical care.
In a formal press statement released on Monday, February 23, 2026, the hospital management confirmed that a committee has been established to investigate the specific circumstances leading to the victim’s death.
The interdiction serves as an administrative step to ensure an unbiased inquiry.
The Board and Management have urged all parties involved to cooperate fully to ensure the process remains transparent and fair.
KBTH reaffirmed its dedication to accountability and high-quality healthcare delivery.
The hospital management emphasized that further updates would be provided once the committee concludes its findings.
”The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital remains committed to transparency, accountability and the delivery of quality healthcare services,” the statement read.
This incident has sparked renewed conversations regarding emergency protocols and the “no-bed syndrome” that has occasionally plagued major referral facilities in the region.
