The Ga East Municipal Hospital has revealed it is currently out of oxygen and health practitioners to sustain admitted COVID-19 patients and to cater for new ones.
Speaking in an interview on Asaase Radio, Dr Joseph Oliver-Commey, the acting Director of Ghana’s Infectious Disease Centre explained that the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for critical COVID-19 patients is full, and the ward for severe cases is also filled to capacity and can no longer admit new patients due to inadequate oxygen and staff.
“The only reason why you can take patients into your ICU is when you have oxygen and adequate staff to handle them,” he said.
