The administrator of the Tema General Hospital, Madam Elizabeth Dogbe says the maternity ward has to be temporarily closed down because of shortage of doctors.
Reports had earlier indicated that several pregnant women who were due for delivery had been directed by the hospital authorities to seek medical attention elsewhere because there were no doctors.
There was a notice posted on the hospital’s walls by the authorities with the new directions to the anxious mothers to be.
According to Madam Dobge who spoke off air, the shortage is because two of the doctors at the Maternity department have travelled outside the country while 2 are on leave without pay.
She stressed that until government takes drastic measures to provide them with enough doctors the maternity ward will remain closed.
Meanwhile some of the anxious and frustrated pregnant women spoke to Adom News
