The Renal Unit at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital has resumed dialysis services for renal disease patients following a nearly two-week shutdown due to a shortage of consumables.
The unit, which provides critical care to nearly 200 patients, has been closed since April 29, 2025, forcing these patients to seek treatment at private facilities, which placed a significant financial burden on them, as they had no access to the unit for their dialysis sessions.
On May 6, 2025 checks at the facility revealed that patients are currently being scheduled and contacted for their sessions.
Patients had been informed about the shortage of consumables, and many had to turn to private facilities for their dialysis treatments, which they reported as being a considerable financial strain.
