Renal disease patients at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have served notice to picket at the Renal Center on Wednesday, August 21 following the government's inability to provide consumables for dialysis sessions for the past three weeks. It's been 3 weeks since the closure of the unit to outpatients due to shortage of consumables. More than 300 renal disease patients dialyze at the facility and the constant closure of the place is making life unbearable for them as some risk further complications due to their inability to sustain their dialysis sessions at private renal centers. The centre was expected to have been opened to the patients on August 14 following a communique by the hospital's Management, but the situation remains same when the news team visited the place earlier today. Information gathered indicates that the consumables are at the port, but clearance processes from the Finance Ministry and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is what is delaying the release of the containers from the ports.
