Two patients exchange blows at Ejisu Government Hospital, damage properties
Two patients exchanged blows at Ejisu Government Hospital on the morning of Monday, July 21. The incident occurred in the Accident and Emergency Unit, causing damage to hospital computers and other equipment. A viral video circulating on social media shows the two men exchanging blows inside the hospital ward. Reports indicate the two were earlier involved in a separate altercation during which they sustained injuries and were subsequently admitted to the hospital for treatment.
One of the injured patients allegedly became enraged while on admission, got off his hospital bed, and attacked the other patient. Health workers on duty intervened, but the scuffle resulted in the destruction of several desktop computers and other hospital equipment. When Adom TV visited the hospital, management declined to comment, stating that the appropriate authorities were unavailable. The patient alleged to have initiated the fight remains on admission under police surveillance. Some health workers, who spoke to Adom News reporter Kwadwo Obeng Mireku on condition of anonymity, said the violence caused panic among other patients and staff, but calm was restored after about an hour, allowing normal hospital operations to resume.
