The Obstetrician and Gynecology theatre at the Effia - Nkwanta Regional Hospital is still not in operation weeks after the ceiling caved in.

The roof of the hospital’s surgical ward reportedly caved in after a downpour, disrupting an operation which was underway.

Deputy Administrator of the Hospital, Habib Ganiyu, told Starr News elective surgeries are affected as the hospital has a limited theatre.

Ganiyu is hopeful the theatre will resume by close of the week.
