Korle Bu Teaching Hospital

Also known as: Korle Bu

Korle Bu Teaching Hospital — a major public hospital in Ghana, recently experienced a doctors' strike over laboratory protocols and received medical equipment donations from private companies.

Korle Bu doctors suspended a one-day strike on laboratory protocols after hospital management committed to allowing laboratory physicians to return to their designated workplaces. The strike had halted Out-Patient Department services and forced the hospital to redirect routine patients to emergency units, highlighting ongoing friction over laboratory processes affecting clinical decision-making.
