The newly appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), for the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Dr. David Zawumya Kobilla has said the facility has suffered from poor management for far too long.
The facility he said will not be a new place for him since he has worked as a lecturer and gynecologist for years and knows the ills of the hospital, which he has promised to rectify.
When asked if it was safe for him to take up his new position due to the brouhaha surrounding it, he said, he was more than ready because the facility has the mandate to provide healthcare for every single person that comes there.
Dr. Kobilla said, he was part of the team that gave Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and Komfo-Anokye Teaching Hospital a face lift and that will be something he will do for the TTH.
Poor management, poor attitude towards work and infrastructure are the issues we should focus our attention on instead of politicising the issues, he said when he spoke with Kwame Tutu in an interview on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm.
The new CEO is taking over from Dr. Prosper Akambong, who refused to hand over to who refused to hand to him because he was not officially informed. Meanwhile the PRO for the Health Ministry, Robert Cudjoe has confirmed that they have not officially notified the outgoing CEO to hand over. According to him, the Ministry erred by not writing officially to Dr. Akambong.
