FOUR NURSES AWAITING GOVERNMENT POSTING ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY STEALING GH₵5 MILLION AT AMEGASHIE HERBAL CLINIC

Four nurses awaiting government posting have been arrested over allegations that they diverted approximately GH₵5 million belonging to Amegashie Herbal Clinic into their personal accounts.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of the facility, Dr. Amegashie, the suspects were apprehended following an internal investigation at the clinic’s Kasoa branch, which uncovered an alleged long-running scheme involving the misappropriation of hospital funds.

Dr. Amegashie explained that the accused staff members allegedly created and maintained a separate register to record payments made by some patients. Instead of entering all transactions into the clinic’s official accounting system, the nurses are said to have kept portions of the funds for themselves.

The alleged fraudulent activities reportedly resulted in losses amounting to nearly GH₵5 million, prompting management to involve law enforcement authorities.

The CEO expressed disappointment over the incident, questioning the integrity of healthcare professionals entrusted with handling patients and public resources. He noted that honesty and accountability are essential qualities expected of workers, particularly those who may eventually serve in public healthcare institutions.

The suspects are currently assisting with investigations as authorities work to establish the full extent of the alleged financial misconduct.

Further details are expected to emerge as investigations continue.
