The management of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has denied recording any death at the Renal Dialysis Unit during the period of shortage of dialysis consumables.
This follows reports alleging the deaths of 20 renal patients at the facility.
A statement issued by the hospitals described the publication as false.
The hospital attributed the misinformation to a misinterpreted media flyer and sensationalised online commentary on social media platforms, particularly Facebook.
“There is no truth to the claim that Korle Bu Teaching Hospital lost 20 renal patients this year because of a shortage of dialysis consumables.
“We have no record of any deaths during the period of shortages at the Renal Dialysis Unit,” the statement clarified.
Regarding the claims of unpaid debts, KBTH confirmed that the Ministry of Health has cleared all arrears owed to suppliers. The statement further emphasized, “Currently, Korle Bu does not owe GH¢6 million to any supplier, as falsely alleged.”
Additionally, the hospital announced that it had received “a new shipment of dialysis consumables through the Tema Port last week, with a second shipment currently being cleared. Inpatient dialysis services resumed on August 12, and outpatient services are expected to be fully operational by the end of this week.”
The management of KBTH therefore urged the public to disregard the false claims that are designed to spread fear and angst.
