Health News of Wednesday, 18 October 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comCorrespondence from Bono RegionThe Tain District Hospital in Nsawkaw in the Bono Region risks being shut down following the disconnection of electricity supply to the hospital by the Volta River Authority (VRA). The hospital owes the Volta River Authority (VRA) over GHC2 million spanning a period of four months, that is from May to September 2023. The disconnection of electricity to the $36.6 million 60-bed hospital over the debt on Friday, October 13, 2023, has since compelled management to resort to the use of a power plant. Dr Taah-Amoako adds that management will be compelled to close down the hospital in the coming days if the situation persists. Meanwhile, independent checks by GhanaWeb indicate that the hospital is indebted to the VRA to the tune of GHC6.4 million since 2021.
