The management of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has interdicted two doctors and two nurses over allegations that they refused emergency treatment to a 29-year-old engineer who later died at the facility.
The action, announced in a statement on Monday, February 23, 2026, follows growing public concern surrounding the death of Charles Amissah, an employee of Promasidor Ghana Limited.
Amissah sustained severe injuries in a hit-and-run accident on February 6 and was transported through several health facilities in search of emergency care. According to reports, he was reportedly turned away by the Police Hospital, Ridge Hospital, and eventually Korle Bu, with each facility citing a lack of available beds.
Hospital management stated that a committee has been established to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to his death. The interdicted staff are suspected of failing to provide emergency medical care as required.
Management assured the public of a fair and transparent inquiry and reaffirmed the hospital’s commitment to accountability and quality healthcare delivery. Further updates, it said, will be provided after the investigation is concluded.
