Water shortage hits Korle Bu
Water shortage has hit the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital over the
past three days.

Nurses and healthcare givers are worried that if
the situation worsens it could affect healthcare
delivery.

He said the nurses at the unit spend a great deal
of time in search of water to run the facility.
According to him, the taps at the facility have
run dry.

“The problem is a general situation around
Korlebu and its environs and the hospital has poly
tanks it relies on for water supply and therefore
health delivery has not been affected,” an
official of Ghana’s premier health facility told
Starr News.

A visit to the facility revealed that plastic
barrels are being used as water reservoirs to
serve patients on admission.

The Hospital has, however, refused to officially
speak on record about the situation. Starr News
understands officials are working around the clock
to bring in water tankers to salvage the
situation.
