The outspoken activist went viral on social media on August 17, following a heated confrontation with emergency ward nurses at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, popularly known as Ridge Hospital.
He recorded himself angrily blasting nurses at the facility after they allegedly failed to promptly attend to a critically ill patient he had brought to the facility.
St Williams accused one nurse of claiming that he could not pressure them to do their jobs, which triggered him to go on a lengthy rant about the lack of professionalism among Ghanaian health workers.
One nurse, Rejoice Bortei, later accused the social activist of assaulting her, and Ridge Hospital shared CCTV footage to back up her claim.
Bortei said in an interview that she had suffered a dislocated shoulder and other severe injuries and sued St Williams for assault and defamation.
