This news outlet was reliably informed that the patient was in critical condition and had suffered head injuries that made her scream at night, disturbing other patients and staff.
Despite her condition, information available to the Soireenews.com, the hospital authorities allegedly ejected her from the hospital and abandoned her in a bush along the Gomoa Ojobi road.

The hospital is yet to officially comment on
the incident, but the Medical Director has promised to investigate and take appropriate action.
