The Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has suspended admissions at its surgical emergency unit.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a notice issued by the Medical Directorate and posted at the entrance of the unit two days ago.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”EhRpRUxw6V4tIztgnXu4Ck139YrayDO1″]Authorities at the unit explained that they had to put admissions on hold because the unit was full beyond its capacity.<\/p>\n
They further indicated that they did not want to compromise on health care delivery hence their decision.<\/p>\n
The notice however failed to indicate an alternative unit where referrals from the surgical\/ medical emergency unit should be directed to.<\/p>\n
It is expected that barring any hitches the unit will resume full operations today[Friday] since the notice indicated that it will be closed for only 48 hours.<\/p>\n
