Six out of the 38 people who were injured in the Dompoase motor accident near Komenda Junction on June 12 and taken to the Central Regional Hospital are still on admission.
The victims, made up of three men and three women, are in stable condition and responding to treatment.
Four have also been transferred to Koforidua St Joseph’s Hospital for orthopaedic care, whiles the rest including a seven-month-old baby girl who was travelling with the grandmother who died on the spot, have been discharged.
This was made known during a visit by the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Ebenezer Sekyi-Hughes and his wife Agnes, to the hospital on Saturday.
They were accompanied by the Central Regional Minister, Nana Ato Arthur, the Cape Coast Metropolitan Chief Executive and Mrs Joyce Addo, Gomoa District Chief Executive.
Mr Sekyi-Hughes commended the doctors, nurses and the hospital administration for the effort and commitment with which they handled the situation and urged them to extend the same support to other patients on admission.
He presented beverages and fruits to the victims.
Mr Adjei Frimpong, the hospital administrator, thanked the Speaker for the visit and said the patients would be discharged by the end of the week.
Seventeen people died, 15 on the spot and two later in hospital, when a tipper truck loaded with chippings collided with an intercity STC bus at Dompoase near Komenda on June 12.
Three final year students of St Mary’s Vocational School in Elmina are also on admission with serious burns on their faces, necks, arms and abdomen following a gas explosion when they were doing their practical work in the school on Friday.Source: GNA
