One of Ghana’s premier health facilities, the 37 Military Hospital, says it will be closing down its medical and emergency unit (MEU) to the general public.
In its press statement made available to African Entertainment, the 37 Military Hospital, noted that from Thursday, January 14 to Thursday February 4, 2021, its MEU will be closed to the general public.
The move, according to the Hospital in the press release signed by Colonel E. Aggrey-Quashie, Director of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces, was to pave way for a fumigation exercise to be conducted.
The statement observed that “the closure has become necessary to enable the authorities to undertake fumigation as a remedy to any infestation of the Unit.”
Several facilities including airports, educational institutions in Ghana have been fumigated in recent weeks in a nationwide effort aimed at controlling the spread of coronavirus.
Leading waste management company, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, has been undertaking the nationwide fumigation of markets, schools, airports and health facilities in partnership with the President Nana Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) Government.
