Baby Prosper Delali Kwawu was admitted to the hospital last month after it was detected that he was finding it difficult to breathe. However, the mother of the deceased baby said the doctor ordered for the oxygen to be unplugged because they were unable to raise GHC533.
However, Mr Anaba said the story in the media is contrary to the hospital’s policy, stressing that they would under any circumstance, remove oxygen from a patient for non-payment of medical bills.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service has also ordered investigations into the matter.
They have also promised to punish appropriately anybody found guilty after the investigation.
