Parliament’s Health Committee assures Korle-Bu Doctors of action on staffing shortages and emergency capacity

Parliament’s Select Committee on Health has assured medical staff at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital of ongoing efforts to tackle acute shortages of medical officers and inadequate emergency infrastructure at Ghana’s premier referral facility.

Mark Kurt Nawaane assures Korle-Bu doctors of steps to fix medical officer shortages and double emergency beds, urging no patient turnaways despite challenges.

The Committee’s assurances come amid broader concerns about the impact of staffing shortfalls and infrastructure constraints on healthcare delivery at the teaching hospital, which continues to serve as the main referral centre for complex and emergency cases nationwide.
