“Saturday, we were there with another team that came on monitoring with World Health Organisation to monitor the facilities that we are using to house the COVID-19 patients in the region. We took them there and upon getting there, I realised that thieves had broken into the facility.”
“We went there and realized that the thieves broke the back door of the centre and made away with a TV and a mattress,” he added.
The COVID-19 isolation centre was constructed by ActionAid Ghana and handed over to the Ghana Health Service about two months ago.
Mr. Makpeh said the matter has been reported to the municipal assembly, but did not confirm if the police have also been informed.
