In recent weeks, intermittent power cuts have wreaked havoc on medical equipment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), including its vital Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system.
This system, which relies on integrated batteries to provide power during outages, has suffered due to the sporadic nature of the disruptions.
As a result, essential hospital machinery has broken down, severely impacting productivity and healthcare delivery.
The unannounced power outages have also caused damage to lifesaving equipment dependent on a consistent power supply.
At the Manhyia Government Hospital, similar challenges have been faced, with the facility forced to rely on standby generators to maintain operations during power interruptions.
The frequent on-off cycles and voltage fluctuations have further exacerbated the situation, causing additional strain on hospital resources and equipment.
