The Statesman in a front page story says Mr Kwame Abasi, a 34-year-old patient who could not pay for a surgical operation conducted on him by the Holy Family Hospital at Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region, is currently receiving treatment from the Bole Hospital after being dumped in his village by the Holy Family Hospital in a bid to retrieve their money. The paper says Dr Henry Atawura, the Bole District Medical Officer, who conducted the press to see the patient, expressed shock and displeasure at the behaviour of the hospital authorities, describing it as "ungodly and inhuman". He called for a proper investigation into the matter which he said was against the ethics of their noble profession. According to the Statesman, Dr Atawura assured the police that the government has set aside a package for truly poor people who cannot afford the cost of treatment.
