Assin Wurakese Nurses Threaten To Abandon Post After Violent Attack On Patient At Akoti Health Centre

Fear and panic have gripped health workers at the Akoti Health Centre in Assin Wurakese in the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region after a group of armed individuals stormed the facility and brutally attacked a patient receiving treatment.

The incident occurred after a violent altercation between a man identified as Yaw Buabeng and a couple, during which both parties reportedly inflicted cutlass wounds on each other.

One of the victims, Daniel, who sustained deep wounds on his arm, was the first to arrive at the facility for urgent medical attention.

Shortly after, Yaw Buabeng, bleeding heavily from head and hand injuries, also rushed to the centre for help.

However, as nurses began treating him, a group of about ten young men, armed with machetes, sticks, and clubs, stormed the facility and assaulted Buabeng, beating him into a coma.

The horrifying attack sent nurses fleeing for their lives, abandoning the facility in fear.

Health officials are now demanding a full-scale police investigation and the immediate arrest of the assailants.

They warn that if the perpetrators are not brought to justice, they will seek transfers, citing grave security concerns at the facility.

The matter has been officially reported to the Assin Fosu District Police Command for investigation.
