Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Refutes Allegations Of 20 Renal Patient Deaths And Supplier Debts

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has strongly refuted recent media reports alleging the deaths of 20 renal patients and outstanding debts to suppliers.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the hospital management addressed two major claims: that 20 patients had died due to a shortage of renal dialysis consumables, and that these shortages were caused by the hospital’s supposed debt to suppliers.

KBTH categorically denied these allegations, stating that there is no truth to the claim that 20 renal patients have died this year due to a shortage of dialysis consumables.

“We have no record of any deaths during the period of shortages at the Renal Dialysis Unit,” the statement read.

The allegations were attributed to a misinterpreted media flyer and sensationalised online commentary on Facebook.

Addressing the second allegation, the hospital confirmed that the Ministry of Health has settled all arrears owed to suppliers.

“Currently, Korle Bu does not owe GH¢6 million to the supplier as being falsely alleged,” the statement emphasised.

The hospital also 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 restored by the end of this week.

The management urged the public to disregard the false claims, which they believe are intended to spread fear and anxiety.
