ガーナのコルレ・ブー・テッチャリング・病院の医師2名と看護師2名が,2026年2月6日に事故で死亡した29歳のエンジニアチャールズ・アミッサに緊急治療を提供しなかったという疑いから,職を休職に追い出された. Two doctors and two nurses at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana have been suspended following allegations they failed to provide emergency care to Charles Amissah, a 29-year-old engineer who died after a hit-and-run accident on February 6, 2026. 現場のEMSで安定したアミサフは、ベッドの確保不足のため3つの病院から退院し、そこで心停止し、死亡したと伝えられている。 Amissah, stabilized by EMS at the scene, was reportedly turned away from three hospitals due to lack of bed availability before being taken to Korle Bu, where he went into cardiac arrest and died. 同病院は2月23日時点の停職処分を確認し,当該事件を検討する調査委員会を設立し,3月5日までに予想される成果を提出した. The hospital confirmed the suspensions on February 23 and established an investigation committee to review the incident, with findings expected by March 5. この事件で国民の怒りが高まり,ガーナの緊急医療制度改革の要請が再発された. The case has sparked public outrage and renewed calls for reform in Ghana’s emergency healthcare system.
