Korle Bu struggling to cope with rising emergency cases – Accident & Emergency head

The Head of the Accident and Emergency Department at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Henry Bulley, says Ghana's healthcare infrastructure has failed to keep pace with rapid population growth, placing enormous pressure on the country's largest referral hospitals.

He called for increased investment in expanding hospital infrastructure, improving bed capacity and recruiting more healthcare professionals to meet the demands of Ghana's growing population.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra, Dr Bulley said the growing demand for emergency services had overstretched existing facilities, medical equipment and healthcare personnel, making it increasingly difficult to deliver timely care.
