Ghana Police Hospital to Suspend New Admissions for Fumigation Exercise

The Ghana Police Hospital is undertaking a crucial fumigation and maintenance exercise to ensure the continued safety and hygiene of its facilities. This proactive measure, scheduled from Friday, May 1, to Sunday, May 3, 2026, necessitates a temporary halt on new admissions to several vital departments. This includes the Eye Clinic, Intensive Care Unit, Specialist Consulting Rooms, Maternity Ward, and the Theatre.

The exercise will affect the Eye Clinic, Intensive Care Unit, Specialist Consulting Rooms, Maternity and Labour Ward, Female Ward, Male Ward and the Theatre.

To facilitate the decongestion of these units prior to the exercise, the hospital will not be accepting new patients from April 30, 2026. This temporary arrangement, while potentially inconvenient for some, is essential for the effective execution of the fumigation and maintenance work. The hospital management has issued a public appeal, urging citizens to make alternative healthcare arrangements during this period and to seek services at other medical facilities.
