A shocking incident unfolded at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) on Monday when a 29-year-old man, identified as William Cyril Cohen, was apprehended by hospital security personnel for posing as a medical practitioner.
Cohen’s audacious charade was exposed when he was discovered loitering in a suspicious manner between the Chest Clinic and the Accident and Emergency Block during a time when legitimate doctors were expected to be attending to patients in the wards and consulting rooms.
The Director of Nursing at KATH, who noticed Cohen’s presence, decided to inquire about his credentials. Initially claiming to be a doctor, Cohen’s composure crumbled under further questioning, and he attempted to evade the situation. Alert security personnel on duty swiftly pursued and detained him, per 3news.com.
Hospital authorities wasted no time in subjecting Cohen to a thorough interrogation, during which he confessed to not being a licensed medical professional. This shocking revelation has raised concerns about the security measures in place at KATH and the potential risks posed to patients.
The incident has sparked discussions about the need for stricter security protocols in healthcare facilities to prevent unauthorized individuals from infiltrating sensitive areas.
As investigations continue, the case of William Cyril Cohen serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance in healthcare settings and the need for robust security measures to protect both patients and the reputation of medical institutions.
