Two Nurses at the Sene West District Hospital at Kwame Danso in the Brong Ahafo Region have fled the town after a Pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante group; Delta Force missed them in an attack.
The said vigilante group's action follows a misunderstanding between a nurse of the hospital and the District Chief Executive of the area at the hospital last Sunday.
According to sources from the district hospital, a squabble ensued after Kofi Kyere, a nurse on duty at the Emergency ward that morning, shouted at the DCE for peeping through the window while a patient was being diagnosed.
In a telephone interview with Peacefmonline.com, Mr Kyere said he did not know the one peeping was the DCE, Mr. John Nyarba, adding, he had to shout because it was an invasion of the patient's privacy.
"After I had shouted at him thrice, he left the window and came to the ward and asked if I knew he was the DCE but I said even if I knew, his act of peeping was not right so I had to shout at him," he narrated.
He said some NPP supporters at the facility asked him to apologise to the DCE, which he did, but he was still pursued by some young men who told him they would mess up his life for his confrontation with Mr Nyarba.
Kofi Kyere said he informed his Medical Superintendent about the fracas and the threats from the members of the "Delta force", which he (Medical Superintendent) promised to settle.
However, on Monday, Kyere said the group came to his house and he escaped to his home town, adding that another nurse who had defended him on Sunday was also pursued so she also had to flee as well.
The administrator of the hospital, Mr. Kwasi Asiedu Antwi, who confirmed Sunday’s blowup, declined to give further information on the issue but stated that his office was resolving the matter with the NPP.
Efforts to reach the district police commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police Kingsley Dompreh, and the DCE have been unsuccessful.

I can't judge anyone here, but I guess the DCE will not be heedless to a polite call from a Nurse that 'Please you don't have peep here, kindly go to the desk and ask your direction' You have to be an ordinary person, go through the various hospitals and witness how on earth will a staff shout on a client for committing the slightest offences. Mostly in government hospitals, who cares if you don't come back for poor client service. Poor man you don't even have an option. I am also a health worker, there are many good once. And there are many rude health workers. Let's not play politics, Was he suppose to shout on even a poor visitor who might have painstakingly lost his way?
I hope you read the full story before commenting.. PeaceFM contacted the nurse, and hospital administrator (from this story). The police commander and DCE are not answering calls because they want to settle the issue amicably.
Na who's fault
peacefmonline I will blame you first for acting unprofessional. why do you have to post the information without hearing from both parties (the nurses, the DCE,&the hospital administration as well.) lazy journalist!!!!!!
BANANA REPUBLIC INDEED
If it were the DCE's mother who were been diagnosed and someone does this what will be his reaction? If he is a DCE is he above the law? Even the president iß not àbove the law. I think the DCE must be felt with

This DCE knows nothing. This uncivilised attitude of some politians must stop
