UEW Hospital suspends OPD services over GAUA strike
The University of Education Hospital at Winneba has suspended services at its Outpatient Department (OPD) following the ongoing strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA).
The University of Education Hospital in Winneba has temporarily halted its Outpatient Department (OPD) services due to the ongoing strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA). This suspension means that patients in need of outpatient care at the hospital will be unable to access OPD services until further notice.
In a notice to patients and visitors, the hospital explicitly linked the decision to the industrial action, stating that OPD services would resume once the strike had been called off. The hospital issued an apology for the inconvenience caused and advised affected individuals to reach out to the hospital administration for more information.
The notice concluded by reiterating that OPD services would resume upon the cessation of the strike. The GAUA strike has had a ripple effect on various university services, with the temporary suspension of the UEW Hospital's OPD being the latest consequence. The hospital did not provide an alternative arrangement for patients affected by the suspension.
