The Ministry of Health has taken note of a statement circulating on social media under the caption: “KATH Accident and Emergency Centre Full and Unable to Admit New Cases – Management.”
The Ministry also noted comments made by the Head of Public Affairs of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) on Channel One TV, which appeared to confirm the decision by hospital management that the Accident and Emergency Centre was unable to admit new cases.
The Ministry considers this position to be contrary to the clear directive of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana that no hospital should turn away emergency cases.
Consequently, the Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has been directed to appear before the Minister for Health by 12:00 noon on Thursday, June 4, 2026, to explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for actions deemed inconsistent with the President’s directive.
