UGMC demands retraction, apology from Michael Blackson over 'worst hospital' claim
The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has demanded a retraction and apology from Ghanaian American comedian Michael Blackson over his description of the facility as the "worst hospital in Ghana." UGMC says the comments have damaged its reputation and do not reflect the hospital's clinical standards or overall performance. Speaking on JoyNews Desk on August 10, the Director of Medical Affairs Dr Baffour Gyan said, "To come out and say UGMC is the worst hospital that one I disagree totally."
UGMC management rejected allegations of misdiagnosis or negligence in the treatment of Blackson's 83-year-old mother. Dr Gyan stated she was referred to UGMC from another facility with a severe infection and spent eight weeks at the hospital, including six weeks in the Intensive Care Unit. He added that the infection with which she was admitted was ultimately responsible for her death. UGMC has confirmed that its lawyers have formally written to Blackson over his social media comments.
