According to the Medical Superintendent of St. Gregory Hospital, Dr Larye Yemo, a woman in her early 30s with a mental health condition was allegedly abandoned by her family at the facility in Gomoa East District, Central Region. The woman had been admitted to the hospital for medical attention, initially being claimed to have been hit by a hit-and-run vehicle.
However, further investigations by the hospital suggested that she had been deliberately left at the facility. Dr Yemo stated that the hospital management had reached out to the Gomoa East District Social Welfare Department and the District Assembly for assistance, but no intervention has been provided yet. The hospital is hesitant to discharge the woman due to a similar incident at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital last year.
The woman has allegedly attacked other patients, causing the hospital to appeal to the District Assembly, Social Welfare Department, and other authorities to take urgent action to provide accommodation and care for her, ensuring she is not left to fend for herself on the streets.
