The Bank of Ghana, BoG says their hospital will be opened to the general public and not only VIP treatment of Covid-19 patients.
The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu at a press briefing yesterday said BoG had made available two floors of its hospital to host 20 beds for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Kwaku Agyeman Manu also disclosed that because the Ministry of Health did not have jurisdiction over the facility, it agreed with the Bank of Ghana to treat only the central bank’s staff and some VIPs.
