A patient believed to be in her late 60s with P.O.P. on her legs has allegedly been dumped in a bush at Gomoa Ojobi in the Central Region.
Some residents allege that an ambulance from the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital in the Central Region committed the act.
A source within the police service in the area said the victim was on admission and receiving treatment at the Winneba Trauma Hospital after being involved in an accident.
However, the hospital discharged the patient and allegedly dumped her in the bush after failing to identify her family members.
In an interview with Adom News, some residents of Gomoa Ojobi said they saw the ambulance driver removing the 60-year-old patient from a wheelchair and dumping her in the bush.
Some expressed shock about the incident.
Gomoa Ojobi Community Chairman, Apostle Robert Afraku, called on authorities and the Gomoa East Social Welfare to come to the aid of the patient.
Managers of the facility have failed to speak on the matter.
