The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has urged the speaker, Alban Bagbin, to summon Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Police Hospital, and Greater Accra Regional Hospital’s management over denial of care to a hit-and-run victim, Charles Amissah, leading to his death.
He demands a thorough investigation into the incident and sanctions for those found culpable.
He argued that the matter cannot be left unresolved, stressing that any individual found culpable must be sanctioned to serve as a deterrent.
“Mr Speaker, with your directive, summon the Chief Executive Officers and the heads of the emergency units of the three hospitals involved. Demand the provision of duty rosters and bed occupancy records for that night.
“They should establish conclusively whether the 2018 Ghana Health Service directive was breached and finally determine whether professional misconduct or negligence occurred. If misconduct is established, sanctions must follow; if negligence is proven, prosecution must follow,” he noted.
He has also called on the Ghana Police Service to intensify efforts to identify and apprehend the driver responsible for the incident.
“I call upon the Ghana Police Service to deploy every resource, investigative technique and intelligence capability at their disposal to track down and apprehend this individual,” he added.
