The Central Regional Health Directorate of the Ghana Health Service has launched a formal investigation into the death of a woman at the Kasoa Mother and Child Hospital, assuring the public of a thorough and transparent process.
In a statement issued on April 29, 2026, the Directorate expressed condolences to the bereaved family and indicated that the incident is being treated with urgency and seriousness.
“The death of a mother is a profoundly painful event, and we treat this matter with the utmost seriousness and concern,” the statement, signed by the Regional Director of Health Services, Dr Alberta Adjebeng Biritwum-Nyarko, noted.
To establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, a multi-agency committee has been constituted to conduct investigations.
The Directorate said findings of the probe, along with any recommendations, will be made public after the process is completed. It added that the investigation aims not only to determine what happened but also to identify measures to prevent a recurrence.
Residents have been urged to remain calm and allow the investigative process to proceed without interference.
The statement further reaffirmed the Directorate’s commitment to ensuring patient safety and delivering quality healthcare, particularly for mothers and children in the region.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that the deceased, a pregnant woman in labour, allegedly died after being denied a caesarean section due to a lack of available beds at the facility.
