“As one of Africa’s leading private healthcare institutions, The Bank Hospital remains committed to the highest ethical standards. A formal review of all events before, during, and after his care is underway to ensure continual improvement.”
The statement
The hospital concluded by urging the public and media outlets to refrain from spreading unverified claims and instead rely on credible sources for accurate information.
