A news report by Peace FM 's Northern Regional correspondent,Kwabena Ntow indicates that the general condition of the hospital is in bad shape as most of the madical equipments at the hospital are worn out ;posing danger to both patients and health workers.
Citing the morgue as an example, he said out of the 18 mortuary refrigerators, only 3 is functioning, the other 15 have broken down for sometime now. He said the situation has created serious congestion and at the time of filing the news report,10 bodies were lying on the bare floor, something the morgue attendants describe as normal because it is a daily occurance. Compounding the situate is inadequate water supply and lack of basic medical tools such as gloves,this they said is hindering quality health care delivery.Authorities he spoke to are therefore appealing to the government to take immediate action to intervene because they fear for an out bteak of a pandemic.
