The 37 Military Hospital has initiated a critical temporary shutdown of its Medical Emergency Unit (MEU) for a fumigation exercise to safeguard public health and ensure environmental integrity.
The disinfection will take place from Wednesday, June 4, to Saturday, June 14, 2025, in a proactive stance in maintaining a sterile and safe environment for both patients and healthcare providers.
A statement by Lieutenant R.K. Kotoku, on behalf of the Acting Director General of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces, notified the public about the development.
The hospital is urging the general public to utilise alternative emergency medical facilities across Accra during this 10-day period.
Major hospitals like Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital), Police Hospital and Lekma Hospital are expected to absorb the diverted patient load.
Crucially, Lieutenant Kotoku assured that specialised provisions have been made for entitled personnel.
These individuals will continue to receive emergency medical attention through the Trauma Surgical Emergency Unit (TSEU), which will remain fully operational throughout the fumigation exercise.
This strategic segregation aims to minimise disruption to critical care for specific patient populations while the MEU undergoes deep cleansing.
The hospital expressed sincere regret for any disruption or inconvenience this vital measure may cause to the public.
