Health News of Monday, 23 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comEmergency Medicine Residents at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) say a viral video showing patients lying on the floor of the hospital’s emergency unit while receiving care is an accurate reflection of conditions at the facility. When the surge in patients exhausted all available beds, chairs were provided. When those chairs were also exhausted, patients had no option but to receive care on the floor. Characterising this documentation as ‘AI-generated’ or ‘media slander’ is factually inaccurate and an affront to both patients and staff,” the statement said. Beds without functional oxygen points, airway equipment, monitoring tools, adequate floor space, and sufficient nursing and physician staffing ratios do not improve care.
