Pregnant women due for delivery at the maternity ward of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital were Saturday redirected to the surgical department because the theatre at that ward had been closed down.Joy News sources said the theatre was shut down due to power failure Saturday.A staff of the hospital who pleaded anonymity confirmed the closure to Joy News.He explained that, two stand-by generators for the centre have all broken down resulting in the shutdown.According to the staff, “all these generators are not working and what this means is that management has not paid real attention” to the problem.Joy News also understands the wiring systems in the theatre were found to be faulty and were being fixed Saturday night when Joy News’ Fred Smith visited the hospital.All patients being operated upon had been transferred to the main surgical department of the hospital during Joy News’ visit.Joy News sources said the transfer of patients is also causing serious congestion at the surgical department and warns of infections at the wards.Public Relations Officer of the hospital Mustapha Salifu declined to go on record but explained on telephone that a routine maintenance work had been carried out at the maternity ward.
