Oncologists at KATH withdraw services due to malfunctioning radiotherapy machine

Doctors at the Oncology Department of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital have suspended consultations on June 24 due to a malfunctioning radiotherapy machine, specifically its Water Phantom unit, crucial for measuring radiation doses.

Over a dozen patients were left with only the Head of Department and one clinician attending to them.

A nurse reported doctors' absence.

CEO Prof. Addai-Mensah confirmed a letter of credit has been issued to fix the issue and expressed hope for doctors' understanding.
