ECG to disconnect Korle Bu, 37 Military hospital and 89 others over GH₵261m debt
It has emerged that the National Taskforce of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will soon disconnect the power supply to 91 hospitals nationwide due to outstanding debts owed.
The debt owed by the facilities is pegged at GH₵261 million.
Reports suggest the facilities will be disconnected 48 hours after receiving a “demand notice.”
Notable among the affected facilities are; Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, the 37 Military Hospital, Ridge Hospital in the Greater Accra region, Komfo Anokye and Manhyia Government Hospitals in the Ashanti region, Ho Teaching Hospital in the Volta region, and Kibi Government Hospital in the Eastern region, as among those at risk of disconnection.
The exercise forms part of ECG’s comprehensive effort to mobilize revenue from customers.
Accra Academy, Parliament, and Accra Sports Stadium, among others, were recently affected by the ongoing exercise.
