The Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Atta, has disclosed that the medical bills of all accident victims of the Dompoase car crash including mortuary bills will be settled by the government.
He made this known over the weekend when a delegation of government officials including Mr. Kwaku Ofori-Asiamah, the Transport Minister and Mr. Kwamena Duncan, the Central Regional Minister, visited the injured who are still on admission at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH).
Mr Amoako-Atta asked the hospital authorities to furnish the Ministry with all other bills that the hospital would incur through the Central Regional Minister.
Consequently, Dr. Eric Ngyedu, the Chief Executive Officer of the CCTH, has directed that monies earlier paid by some of the victims be refunded once they provide their receipts while a comprehensive report on patients including all those who would need surgical implants be compiled for onward submission to Accra.
The delegation including Mrs. May Obiri Yeboah, the Executive Director of the National Road Safety Authority; and COP Paul Manly Awini, the Regional Police Commander, also inspected the scene of the accident at Dompoase junction.
