The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has challenged comedian Michael Blackson's assertion that the hospital is the "worst hospital in Ghana" and has called for a retraction and apology. Blackson made the comments following the death of his 83-year-old mother and expressed dissatisfaction with UGMC's handling of her care.
UGMC's Director of Medical Affairs, Dr. Baffoe Gyan, defended the hospital's clinical performance, asserting that it should be evaluated based on objective indicators such as patient outcomes, infrastructure, and medical expertise. Dr. Gyan rejected allegations of misdiagnosis or negligent treatment of his mother, explaining that she was treated at UGMC for a severe infection and spent eight weeks receiving care, six of which were in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
He emphasized that the hospital adhered to established treatment protocols throughout her admission. Dr. Gyan also conveyed condolences to Blackson's family, acknowledging the grief associated with losing a loved one despite the hospital's efforts to save the patient. UGMC has formally notified Blackson's lawyers to retract and apologize for his social media comments and is awaiting a response.
