The veteran musician went viral after accusing the hospital of failing to provide a bed for her sister's emergency treatment.
Her emotional video sparked widespread debate and prompted many Ghanaians to share similar experiences with the country's public healthcare system.
On July 7, 2026, Korle Bu released a statement addressing the allegations and requesting further details about the incident.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Mzbel thanked the hospital for its condolences but maintained that she spoke out because of her painful experience.
"My intention has never been to attack any institution or damage anyone's reputation. I spoke because I lost my sister under circumstances that no family should ever have to endure."

She urged authorities to improve Ghana's healthcare system, saying every citizen deserves timely and dignified care regardless of their financial status.
