The Tema General Hospital has refuted claims that a child died during a power outage at their Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on Tuesday, 26 March 2024.
The hospital responded to a viral video showing its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in darkness, with nurses attempting to care for babies during a power outage.
A statement released by the hospital’s medical director, Dr. Richard Anthony, confirmed that “The dedicated generator set to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) tripped off for a short period and the hospital’s electricians worked to restore power to the Unit until the national grid was restored.”
