Chereponi District Hospital on brink of ‘cash and carry’ system over two weeks power outage

The Chereponi District Hospital in Ghana’s Northeast Region faces a crisis due to ongoing power outages.

Without electricity for nearly two weeks, the hospital may return to a "cash and carry" system due to unsustainable fuel costs for its generator.

The outage is disrupting daily life, economic activities, and healthcare.

Residents are struggling with water scarcity and high demand for sachet water, while the Northern Electricity Distribution Company blames a fault for the power cut.

Efforts to restore electricity are delayed, worsening the situation. The hospital appeals for support from government and charities.
