The illness of Dr. Oheneba-Owusu Danso has forced other top executives of the biggest referral center in the Ashanti Region, to self-quarantine
Dr. Danso is said to be receiving treatment in one of the COVID-19 treatment units at the same hospital.
Authorities are yet to go public on the development as calls to the Public Affairs Unit of the hospital had gone unanswered as at press time.
