A fire outbreak on Saturday, February 21, has completely destroyed the children’s ward at the Saboba Assemblies of God Hospital.
According to the hospital’s Nurse Manager, Mr. George Olannba, the fire started at the entrance of the children’s ward before spreading rapidly through the facility.
The Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly to the scene, but challenges with equipment hampered initial efforts to contain the blaze.
Residents in the area intervened to help prevent the fire from spreading to other wards, eventually bringing the situation under control.
