The Ridge Assault Investigative Committee has handed over its report to Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh regarding the assault incident involving a rotational nurse, Rejoice Tsotso Bortei, that occurred on 17th August at the Emergency Department of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (GARH).

While submitting its findings to the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, on Wednesday, August 27, the Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Lawrence Ofori-Boadu, disclosed that there is no medical evidence indicating that the nurse suffered a dislocation on her shoulder, nor does she have a fracture in her left wrist.

A group of men, including a member of the pressure group Democracy Hub, Mr. Ralph Afful Williams, allegedly stormed the Ridge facility, demanding immediate treatment for an injured finger while medical staff were attending to critically ill patients, including one with an open fracture.

Hospital management was forced to call in the Ghana Police Service after the situation escalated into the alleged assault of a nurse. Following the incident, several groups and individuals have demanded the arrest of Ralph Williams, describing his actions as unlawful.
