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.<\/p>\n<p>According to the staff, \u201call these generators are not working and what this means is that management has not paid real attention\u201d to the problem. Joy News also understands the wiring systems in the theatre were found to be faulty and were being fixed Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>All patients being operated upon had been transferred to the main surgical department of the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.The theatre was shut down due to power failure Saturday. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83506\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
