The Health Ministry has summoned the management of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital over a new fee being charged to kidney patients who visit the Renal Unit of the facility for dialysis sessions.
The hospital has come under intense criticism after reports of a review of its dialysis charges.
The Head of Public Relations at the Health Ministry, Isaac Ofie, said the hospital’s management would be hauled before the ministry to explain why the new fee was introduced without approval from the Ministry or Parliament.
Meanwhile, the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Opoku Ware Ampomah, told Ahotor News that only six people have been affected by the new charges and the situation would be remedied.
