My Gov’t Is Determined To End No Bed Syndrome – Akufo Addo

President Akufo Addo has assured Ghanaians he is determined to bring the no bed syndrome in the country’s hospitals to an end.

The president expressed his displeasure with patients being treated on wheel chairs, bare floors because of lack of beds.

He made this assertion at Burma Camp while presenting 10,000 hospital beds, under the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), to be distributed to hospitals across the country.

“Government’s determination to see an end to this no-bed syndrome has resulted in the decision to procure these hospital beds and their associated accessories for distribution across the country, to augment the existing numbers in the country,” the President said.

He stated on Tuesday, September 22 that “in total, one thousand, five hundred (1,500) pieces of critical care beds with overhead tables; two thousand (2,000) pieces of standard hospital beds with bedside lockers; four thousand (4,000) pieces health centre beds with bedside lockers; one thousand (1,000) pieces of children’s cot; and one thousand, five hundred (1,500) pieces of delivery beds have been purchased.”
