Dialysis services are now accessible to patients at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hos­pital (KBTH). It follows the receipt of some quantities of consumables at the Renal Dialysis Unit which were airlifted into the country on Monday. A statement issued by the hos­pital yesterday said with "imme­diate effect, patients could access dialysis upon scheduled appoint­ment by the Unit." • Dr Benard Oko Boye, Minister of Health "Apart from this emergency consignment, the Ministry of Finance has granted tax waiver to expedite the clearance of the sec­ond container at the Tema port. We anticipate receiving these additional supplies within the week, further strengthening the availability of the essential con­sumables for our services," it said. The statement while express­ing appreciation to patients for their cooperation and patience during the period services were halted, thanked the Ministries of Health and Finance as well as other stakeholders in ensuring the timely availability of needed consumables. "As a hospital, we remain com­mitted to delivering the highest standard of care and has reviewed the processes involved in securing these essential supplies to forestall a recurrence of another break in the provision of renal dialysis services to our valued patients," it assured.
