Six unions have petitioned the Health Ministry against an extension of Dr. Opoku Ware Ampomah’s tenure as Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The unions include the Health Service Workers Union, Ghana Federation of Allied Health Professionals of Korle Bu chapter, Health Accounting Staff Association of Ghana, Korle Bu Senior Staff Association, Government and Hospital Pharmacists Association and Ghana Registered Nursing and Midwives Association.
The unions have cited several reasons, including inefficiencies in the CEO’s absence which has led to operational paralysis and delays in approvals leading to shortages of essential supplies.
They have also accused Dr Ampomah of conflict of interest, stating his interests conflict with hospital goals.
In a statement dated July 26th, they warned that an extension of Dr Ampomah’s tenure would harm the hospital’s progress and the well-being of staff and patients.
