The truth is that, if the country experiences some issues with power availability, hospitals are not outside the country, they will also experience some.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother truth is that most of our hospitals have standby power plants, but just like management of a house, you can go to a house, they have a generator but maybe the generator has an issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one to put in petrol has an issue. Let\u2019s stick to the essentials. Let\u2019s ask a hospital, how is your generator? Is it working? If it\u2019s not working, have you approached the ministry? If it\u2019s working, who was in charge? Why didn\u2019t you make it work? I don\u2019t want to go into the details. We should not get sensational. Let\u2019s stick to the essentials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we want to discuss power supply in hospitals and standby generators, let\u2019s discuss it. That is the way to make progress. You can do an audit, in Accra, there are forty government hospitals, out of the forty, about thirty have power plants. Ten don\u2019t have. Doctor, what are you doing about it? That is the way to make progress,\u201d\u00a0 Okoe-Boye said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2014-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Health Minister-designate, Bernard Okoe-Boye has urged health facilities to utilize alternative power sources, particularly generator sets amidst the recent erratic power supply.
