RVTH X-RAY MACHINE BREAKDOWN
The only National X-ray Machine at Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital (RVTH) has a major breakdown since last week.
The breakdown has seriously affected lives of patients who need the service at the hospital.
According to patients who spoke to this reporter, they have been waiting to be x-rayed for many days now and anytime they go to the hospital or call their doctors, they are told that the x-ray machine is still not good. Another patient told me that he had decided to go to West Field Clinic where he paid over six hundred dalasis (D600.00) on x-ray alone.
Efforts to speak to the hospital authorities proved futile. However Foroyaa was reliably informed that the said machine was donated by Mr. Akim Samba, the proprietor of Breck World Company in 1997 and the machine was manufactured since 1982.
