The Ghana Police Hospital in Accra would shut
down for mandatory fumigation exercise at some of its Departments including that
of the Paediatric and the Out-patient Unit.
The exercise scheduled to start from February 6, to 10 would also be
executed at the Radiology and Dental Units, Chemist, Quartermaster stores as
well as the area of the General Administration.
A statement issued by Dr Iddi Musah, the Deputy Commissioner of Police
and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday said the affected areas
would be opened on Tuesday February 7, 2017.
The statement said management would put
in place measures to address emergency cases only.
The statement advised the public to make
use of the La, Ridge and the 37 Military Hospitals for accessing health care
while they await the completion of the exercise.
Fumigation is a method of using a lethal gas to exterminate pests
within an enclosed space.
