In Somanya Polyclinic, Eastern Region, vital departments face closure during power outages.
The Head of Administration at Somanya Polyclinic, Kafui Wuttor, highlighted the clinic’s generator’s limited capacity, causing disruptions in crucial services like the laboratory.
Mr Wuttor emphasized the pressing need for an additional generator plant to improve hospital operations, citing the negative impact of frequent power interruptions on healthcare quality and operational costs.
“As we speak now, our lights are off but our generator plant has low capacity to power the facility. Some of the units are even off. We are unable to run labs as we speak so if we get a new gens set in addition to what we have, it will boost our services. The power outage is affecting us. Apart from the fact that it is not able to power the facility, we are also spending a lot of money so it is quite inconvenient,” said Kafui Wuttor
