Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has recounted the events surrounding a recent confrontation at the Ridge Hospital, emphasising the need for enhanced security in healthcare facilities and respect for medical professionals.

Speaking during an appearance on Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor, as monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the Minister said he first picked up reports of the incident over the weekend. "On Monday morning, I started getting the signals from the public.

So I sent a delegation to Ridge Hospital to ascertain the situation. "When the delegation came back to the ministry and they were debriefing me, the feedback was that the health professionals were insecure. "They felt they were panicking and therefore the recommendation was that if I can go there and give them some kind of reassurance.

So I did," he explained.
