####SOURCE: CLASSFMONLINE ------ The Government of Ghana is reviewing the debts incurred by the John Mahama administration to find out whether the loans were used for the purposes of which they were contracted, Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo, has revealed. After the review of the debt situation, the findings will be made public to enable the Ghanaian people realise how their moneys were spent by the previous administration, Mr Marfo added. It is recalled that during the electioneering season the then main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the Mahama government of excessive borrowing but with little to show for, an assertion the then governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) rubbished because they thought they had embarked on several infrastructural projects with those loans. Mr Marfo speaking during the National Policy Summit on Tuesday May 16 said revealed that the new government is investigating all the debts left behind by Mr Mahama. “We are working on the numbers, the ministry of finance gives us the bulk numbers. But they do not all emanate from one source, we have some sitting in energy, some sitting in SSNIT and we are examining all. As a government and we are doing it gradually and slowly because we must be accurate. “We want to be sure that whatever comes out finally is accurate. The government owes it as a duty to keep the nation informed about these debts and what it was used for.”

Why do we keep making the same mistake over and over again by making doctors directors of hospitals? Hospitals directors need the right background to manage a hospital which doctors don't have.
As a government employee one doesn't have choices in transfers and terminations of course if one thinks it was unfairly done then you go to the appropriate body for a resolution or the courts.

Yaa Nkosuo,it's a very tangible reason how can one work successfully under an unwelcome condition? The workers are right to support his transfer,he is even lucky he has been transfered not dismissed as was done to Prof. Frimpong Boateng. This shows the difference between NPP and ndc. This shows how Ghanaians are still angry with the ndc so their Ghanaians have missed ndc slogan shows clearly ndc is tickling themselves and laughing. If ndc are hungry because the ghost names money is not coming say ndc are hungry but don't use Ghana because the good people gave this government a mandate of 4 years to fix the mess of the ndc and the subsequent terms and years for NPP to stay in power for Ghana to enjoy prosperity and progress.

He came from UDS so it's simple he is going back to teach. Somebody was there already acting as the director and that person was a senior doctor at the hospital who deserved to be the director but John mahama looked through his political lens and brought his kinsman from UDS to head that hospital. A new King New law it was a political appointment and his boss has been booted out so he has no business staying there. That's it ! This is not North and South matter.

The Minister has no right to sack the Director . His appointment can only be reversed by the Council and the Public Service Commission. It is stupid for the NPP to politicize appointment off Hospital Directors. It Anaba got his job through political influence from the North, it is wrong to use political influence to correct it . Two wrongs don't made one right
The Minister is an Asante. He should appoint one as the Director and stop dragging Srofenyo into this quagmire.

No one's perfect, buh what's wrong is wrong, no matter how u try to justify him. I know he's being removed bcos he's "thinking out of the box". And as usual, Ghanaian politicians are intimidated by dat.

If u justify dis action today, bcos u are an NPP person, dnt forget it will get bak at u one day. I personally voted NPP and hav never in my life voted for any political party. I do believe in the NPP, but these actions are undemocratic, unscrupulous, and illegal.

Who Is Dr Thomas Anaba The Recently Appointed Medical Director Of The Ridge Regional Hospital?
Stephen Kwabena Attuh (ASK)

Dr Thomas Anaba

Upon the protest against his appointment as Medical Director for the Ridge Regional Hospital, I went out to uncover who Dr Thomas Anaba really is. I wanted to know if he deserved the new appointment or not.

I found out that, not was he given a favour, but, he had really worked and deserves whatever position he has been appointed to.

To start with, Dr Anaba and others, applied to an advertised position, went through interviews and got selected and passed for the position of Medical Director to the Ridge Hospital.

Dr Anaba holds a Masters Degree in Critical Care and Emergencies from the La Sapienza University of Rome, Italy in 2009. He also graduated as a Specialist Anaesthesilogist and Resuscitation from the Higher Institute of Medical Sciences, Havana, Cuba in 2007.

He became a Medical doctor in 2001 after he graduated from the Higher Institute of Medical Sciences, Santa Clara, Cuba.

The Cuban trained doctor is currently a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department, Anaesthesia at the School of Medical and Health Sciences, University for Development Studies positions he held since 2009.

Dr Thomas Anaba is also currently the CEO and Medical Director of Habana Medical Services Tamale.

Dr Anaba did his Clinical Attachment with the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital between October 2001 and January 2002. He became a House Officer at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital from March 2002 to February 2003. He was a Medical Officer between March and October 2003 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Between 2007 and 2008 he was a Specialist Anaesthesilogist and Resuscitation at the Ridge Regional Hospital. Between 2009 and 2012, he was Consultatant Anaesthesilogist and Head of Department Anaesthesia and Critical Care at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.

As part of his achievements during these few years of practice, he successfully developed and established a critical care unit for the Tamale Teaching Hospital.

He secured a grant from Rotary International and established an obstetric High Depended Unit for the Tamale Teaching Hospital in 2015.

He had organized and facilitated several training workshops for anaesthetists in northern Ghana and beyond.

He conducted a country wide needs assessment of pulse oximeters for LifeBox Foundation UK, leading to a donation of 320 pulse oximeter to the country by the foundation. This eradicated the lack of this vital monitor from most Ghanaian operation rooms.

Dr Anaba developed the first ever BSc Nurse Anaesthesia Programme in Africa. This programme was approved by the National Accreditation Board and had been rolled out at the University for Development Studies since 2012. This programme had come to resolve a huge national problem; created a clear career pathway for nurse anaesthetists in Ghana who hitherto had no opportunity for career progression in the specialty.

He established and manages a private clinic HABANA MEDICAL SERVICES in Tamale.

He won the International Award in Excellence and Business Prestige in the Gold Category at the International Quality Submit, New York in 2015.

He is a celebrated Humanitarian Hero by LifeBox Foundation for 2105 in UK for his contribution in the development of anaesthesia in the world.

He again succeeded in getting Duke University School of Nursing and UDS to sign MOU to assist the department of anaesthesia which rolled out the first BSc Nurse Anaesthesia Distance Programme in Africa. This allows practicing nurse anaesthetist pursue the programme without abandoning their facilities.

He also collaborated with John Hopkins University as country local coordinator to conduct a train-the-trainer on assessment and training exercise on universal precaution adherence in August 2015, Tamale.

He received a ‘World Leader Business Person Award’ from The World Confederation of Business, August 2015 in Houston, Texas.

Contributions and other scholary activities of Dr Anaba include; contribution to the Policy and Guidelines for Hospital Accident and Emergency Services in Ghana.

He also contributed to the National Referral Policy Guidelines for the Ministry of Health. Dr contributed to the Guidelines for Public Health Units in hospitals, Ministry of Health.

He developed the Preoperative Anaesthesia Assessment Protocol for the Tamale Teaching Hospital. He equally designed the Anaesthesia Monitoring Chart for the Tamale Teaching Hospital.

He also contributed in the transformation of the Tamale Regional Hospital to a Teaching Hospital and also played a significant role in the expansion of its infrastructure.

He is the chairman of the interview panel for selection of candidates into the BSc Nurse Anaesthesia programme for University for Development Studies, School of Medicine and Health Sciences since 2012.

Thomas Anaba was and is also a member of many boards and committees. He is a member of the Academic Board, University for Development Studies.

He is also a member of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences Board a position he held since 2012.

Dr Anaba was a member of the WHO Global Initiative for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care. Anaesthesiology Working Group.

He was a member of the Tamale Airport Emergency Committee between 2010 and 2013

He was also a member of the Ministerial Committee on Emergencies for the Ministry of Health between 2011 and 2013.

He is also a Board Member, ‘Nazareth Home for God’s Children’ Northern Region.

He is also a member of other professional bodies. He is a member of the Ghana Medical Association. He equally is an Associate member of the Caribbean Medical Association.

Dr Anaba is an Associate member, Cuban Society of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation.

He is a member of the Ghana Anaesthetist Society since 2007 as well as a fellow of the Cuban College of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation.

Finally, he is an Associate member of the Association of Anaesthetist of Great Britain And Ireland.

Dr Anaba had been instrumental in the organization, participation and facilitation of many workshop programmes since 2006.

Dr Anaba's clinic was among the three short listed health facilities in Ghana for the 2014 SME Awards organized by the Ministry of Trade.

Out of his busy schedules, he has given himself to serving his people. He is currently the Assembly man for the Garu-Tempane District Assembly.

This year, his clinic Habana Medical Service has just been selected as a Quality Ambassador for the period 2016 to 2018 by the Quality Committee of BID and BID Group One, Geneva.

Dr Anaba, was one of the heros of doctors who defied the strike action declared by the Ghana Medical Association of which he is an active member over non-agreement over conditions of service and stood by the oath he took to save lives at the Ridge Hospital.

His appointment comes as no surprise looking at the work he had done and his enviable record since joining the medical profession.

What else does he lack for the position especially having gone through the process of applying for an advertised position and getting appointed upon coming out successful?
