Association (GRNMA), Jefferson Asare, has criticised the committee report on the alleged assault of a nurse at the Ridge Hospital Trauma Centre, calling it a “raw deal” for health workers.
Mr. Asare expressed disappointment with the findings.
“We are very disappointed because what the committee brought out and the mandate given them were not the same.
“This is very demoralising for all health workers,” he said on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
He added that the process lacked transparency.
“It is as if the Ministry sat down and set up their own committee amongst themselves. That will never make the results transparent,” Asare noted.
Highlighting flaws in the committee’s investigation, he raised concerns about the omission of crucial witnesses.
“The nurse developed a fracture as confirmed by the doctor. But the committee didn’t even invite that doctor, who signed the medical report, to speak. How can you leave out the person with first-hand information?”*
He questioned the competence of the committee and called for accountability.
“The committee has a lot of questions to answer. Are they telling us the doctor who diagnosed the bruises and swelling didn’t know his job?”
