Four out of the five operating theatres at the Tamale Teaching
Hospital in the Northern Region have been closed down following the
breakdown of the central air-conditioner.
This means that the only referral hospital for the three regions in
the north cannot handle more than three emergency cases at a time.
Patients would have to queue to have their turn because the theatre
can only take one case at a time.
Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Misbao Mohammed told Joy
News the hospital would now prioritise where there are multiple
emergencies.
"We have to identify which cases are more pressing," so they could be
attended to first, he said.
Meanwhile maternity cases are being attended too normally, Misbao noted.
