The management and staff of Asutifi North District Hospital in Kenyasi, Ahafo Region, have raised concerns over the lack of a perimeter fence, warning that it poses a significant security risk.
Dr. Obed Benyin-Mensah, the Medical Superintendent, told Adom News that the absence of fencing allows both people and animals to enter the facility at any time, endangering the safety of staff and patients.
He also highlighted that, unlike many hospitals in the country that have adopted electronic medical records, Asutifi North District Hospital still relies on paper folders. This outdated system complicates workflow for both staff and patients.
Additionally, Dr. Obed noted that the hospital lacks a designated clinic for pregnant women, meaning they are mixed with other patients—a situation he said is not conducive to providing quality healthcare.
He is urging the government and relevant stakeholders to support the hospital in addressing these challenges to enhance healthcare delivery.
