The police are currently investigating an alleged assault that occurred at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) involving an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse and a sister of comedian Michael Blackson. According to Dr Baffour Gyan, the Director of Medical Affairs at UGMC, the incident took place during a disagreement over a nurse's attempt to prevent Blackson's sister from entering the ICU where Blackson's mother was being treated.
Dr Gyan explained that ICU protocols prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the unit, and that the nurse felt she had no choice but to block the sister's entry. The altercation reportedly escalated to the point where the nurse slapped the sister. The matter was reported to the police, who are now handling the case.
UGMC maintains that the restrictions on access to the ICU were established in order to ensure safety and control the spread of infections.
