A nurse at the Tema Community 22 Polyclinic is reported to have been allegedly assaulted by a relative of a patient after a confrontation over visiting regulations at the facility.
The incident is said to have occurred on Thursday, June 4, 2026, during routine enforcement of hospital rules governing visiting hours. According to accounts, the nurse approached the individual and informed them that visiting time had ended and that they were required to exit the ward in line with facility protocols.
What began as a standard enforcement of rules reportedly escalated into a dispute, culminating in an alleged physical attack on the healthcare worker within the hospital premises.
Details surrounding the circumstances remain unclear, and it has not yet been confirmed whether any arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
The alleged assault has raised concerns about the safety of healthcare professionals, who often face challenging working conditions while providing care to patients.
