The Bank Hospital has refuted allegations that it breached the medical confidentiality of the late highlife legend, Charles Kojo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, who passed away at the facility on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

In a press release dated Wednesday, July 30, the hospital expressed condolences to the musician’s family, fans, and the nation, describing his death as a significant loss to Ghana and the world.

“Our hearts go out to his family, loved ones, the government, and fans around the world during this time of sorrow,” the statement read.

The hospital also addressed what it described as “false claims circulating online,” particularly allegations made by media personality Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, also known as Afia Schwarzenegger, suggesting a breach of medical privacy in the handling of Mr. Fosu’s care.

“No breach of Mr. Fosu’s medical privacy or confidentiality occurred,” the hospital stated firmly.

“His care was handled with professionalism, dignity, and strict confidentiality. His family was involved every step of the way.”

The Bank Hospital emphasised its status as one of Africa’s premier private healthcare institutions and reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards in patient care.

It further disclosed that a formal internal review is currently underway to assess all events surrounding Mr. Fosu’s admission and passing, as part of its continuous quality improvement efforts.

“We urge the public to seek and share only verified information from credible sources,” the statement concluded.
