The committee set up to investigate the assault case at Ridge Hospital has concluded that there is no medical evidence to support claims by rotation nurse Rejoice Tsotso Bortei that she sustained a shoulder dislocation during the incident.
Presenting its findings to the Health Minister on Wednesday, August 27, the committee indicated that medical examinations revealed no fractures or dislocations. However, it confirmed that the nurse received treatment, pain relief, rest recommendations, and psychological support following the attack.

This outcome contradicts Rejoice’s earlier claims of a dislocation, which fueled public outrage after a viral video captured relatives of a patient clashing with hospital staff at the emergency ward.
In a related development, the nurse has filed a GHS 7 million lawsuit against social media personality Ralph Saint Williams, popularly known as Ralph De Fellow Ghanaian, over alleged assault and defamation arising from the same incident.
