Major health facilities in the Ashanti Region, including the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), are experiencing equipment damage and loss of crucial medical supplies due to the ongoing power outage.
Sources at KATH have revealed a breakdown of medical equipment that heavily depends on a high electricity supply.
Over the weekend, the KATH and major installations in the Ashanti Region experienced intermittent power outages, causing interruptions to healthcare delivery.
Already, the referral facility is struggling to settle its over twenty-seven million Ghana Cedis debt owed to the Electricity Company of Ghana after receiving disconnection notices.
The intermittent power outages are exacerbating the situation at the facility, which relies on high-powered equipment in its operations.
Sources have also revealed that the situation has affected the hospital’s UPS and major appliances.
Major health facilities like the Manhyia Hospital are also feeling the impact of the intermittent power cuts.
