The 37 Military Hospital has announced a temporary closure of its Medical Emergency Unit (MEU) from Wednesday, June 4, to Saturday, June 14, 2025.
The closure is to allow a comprehensive fumigation exercise aimed at safeguarding public health and maintaining environmental hygiene.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Acting Director General of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces Lieutenant R.K. Kotoku.
The statement explained that the fumigation is part of a proactive effort to ensure a sterile and safe environment for both patients and healthcare personnel.
The public have therefore been advised to make use of other emergency medical facilities in Accra during the 10-day period.
Hospitals such as Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital), Police Hospital, and Lekma Hospital are expected to accommodate emergency cases redirected from the 37 Military Hospital.
Meanwhile, the hospital has assured that special arrangements have been made to ensure that entitled personnel continue to receive emergency medical care during the shutdown.
“These patients will be attended to at the Trauma Surgical Emergency Unit (TSEU), which will remain fully operational throughout the fumigation period,” the statement added.
The hospital stressed that this strategic measure is essential to maintain high standards of hygiene and infection control, while ensuring minimal disruption to critical care services for specific patient groups.
Management of the 37 Military Hospital expressed sincere regret for any inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their cooperation and understanding during this important exercise.
