Korle Bu closes down OPD

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has closed its outpatient services to patients.

A statement issued by the management said the strike by members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) had affected outpatient services at the hospital as well.

“Management of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital wishes to inform the general public that its outpatient services have been closed to patients as a result of the action by members of the GMA,” it said.

It, however, said the hospital was still managing inpatient and emergency cases.

Private hospitals

The statement, therefore, advised all patients requiring outpatient services to go to private and peripheral hospitals in the metropolis.
It said the hospital was appreciative of the services members of the GMA had been providing.

“Management resolves to work with the government and the GMA to ensure that the current impasse is addressed as soon as possible,” it added.
