The Director of the CBC Health Services, Professor Tih Pius has disclosed that the Banso Baptist Hospital in Bui Division and the Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Boyo Division are functioning at less than half of their capacity on accounts of the current sociopolitical unrest.
In a recent press outing, Professor Tih Puis cited roadblocks, threats to health workers amongst others as some of the major reasons for the limited patient intake. The Banso Baptist Hospital has seen military men in uniform storming the hospital with guns traumatizing patients in the name of searching for wounded separatist fighters.
He has warned that in crisis times, health infrastructures according to international law are prohibited from destruction. According to the Geneva Conventions, you are not supposed to get into the hospital and take someone who is undergoing treatment.
He regretted the fact that during this crisis health facilities are not spared.
