A serial caller, Yaw Kissi, who spewed an allegation on Connect FM that 12 mothers died in labor at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital on one day has been made to retract and apologize that his allegation is unfounded and totally false. The serial caller even stated in his allegation on radio that he is an acquaintance of one of the said 12 women who died.

This false allegation has cast a slur on the services of the hospital, caused fear among prospective clients and deeply demoralized hardworking staff of the hospital.

Following the allegation, the hospital authorities reported the incident at the Sekondi District Police command who invited the serial caller to provide evidence of his allegation. Yaw Kissi however admitted that he had no basis and what he said was totally untrue.

The Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital has suffered a lot of damage over the years from the activities of such individuals who use the media to peddle falsehood about the hospital. Despite efforts by management of the facility to encourage complainants to use the hospital complaints system to address their concerns, many still object to this opportunity mostly because their claims are totally false.
