Korle Bu seeks clarification from Mzbel over claims relative died after being denied hospital bed
Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) called on musician and media personality Mzbel on Tuesday, July 7, to provide further information regarding claims made in a viral social media video. The video alleged that her relative died after being unable to secure a hospital bed. The hospital stated, "As at the time of this notice, the Hospital has not been able to engage the family directly to verify the facts. Management is calling on Mzbel to provide the necessary information to enable us to investigate the claims made in the video."
The hospital has taken the allegations seriously and begun efforts to establish the facts. Attempts to reach Mzbel and her family since the video surfaced have been unsuccessful. Korle Bu seeks to determine if the deceased was referred to the hospital and denied admission, or if the patient was advised to wait until a bed became available. The hospital remains committed to the government's directive that no public hospital should refuse emergency cases, a policy reinforced by the Minister for Health following President John Dramani Mahama's directive during the 2026 State of the Nation Address. Additional beds and facilities have been procured to reduce bed shortages.
