A nursing mother has disclosed that she lost her three-day-old baby at the Tema General Hospital on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, allegedly due to the power outage at the facility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rashida Abubakar Tetteh, the 24-year-old troubled mother has disclosed that she was on admitted at the Post C-S ward of the hospital when she was told by a doctor that the son couldn\u2019t survive due to the non-functional medical equipment during the power outage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to visit my son, but I didn\u2019t see him. I was waiting outside when one doctor came to inform me that they were sorry, but due to the lights out, my child could not survive because the incubator was not working.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lights went off on Tuesday evening. No staff has spoken to me, and they haven\u2019t said anything to me,\u201d she said on Accra-based Adom FM.<\/p>\n

Grandmother of the deceased baby, Rebecca Johnson, also expressed grief over the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s painful, they have killed my child because of dumsor; I am in pain. We have nothing to say to the hospital. A hospital like Tema General said they didn\u2019t have petrol in the generator. Is this how we are going to act in this country,\u201d she cried.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Tema General Hospital has denied reports suggesting that the Tuesday outages caused the fatalities at the facility.<\/p>\n

In a press release issued on Wednesday, March 27, the hospital dismissed these claims as baseless and urged the public to disregard them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is worth noting that no lives were lost as a result of this power outage,\u201d an excerpt of the statement said.<\/p>\n

The statement emphasised the hospital\u2019s unwavering commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of its patients above all else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tema General Hospital assures the general public that the Facility will continue to put the health and safety of its patients at the core of its business,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
