The Edward Francis Teaching Hospital (EFSTH), has announced it’s investigating an alleged assault at the Ndemban Clinic involving one of its doctors during service delivery.

"EFSTH wishes to inform the general public that the unfortunate incident where a doctor was caught on a video fighting with a patient was inappropriate, unethical and unprofessional," the Hospital states in news release.  

"The hospital is investigating the matter and will appropriately inform the public of the findings that may arise. A technical committee has been set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. Based on the results of the investigation, appropriate action will be taken to ensure that such does not happen again." 

"Meanwhile, we are begging for the indulgence of the public to bear with us while we do the needful. Furthermore, we would like the public especially the media to come to get information from us rather than relying on a secondary source."
