Bagbin to meet aggrieved KATH surgeons

The Health Minister, Alban Bagbin will today meet management of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) to find amicable solutions to the several concerns raised by junior doctors of the hospital.

Recently the junior doctors petitioned the health minister to change the hospitals management after the dismissal of a key specialist trainer by the hospital.

According to the Junior Doctors, the dismissal of Prof. O.S. Quansah, could lead to losing accreditation by the West African College of Physician and Surgeons (WACPS).

Not long ago the junior doctors went on strike in protest of poor working conditions at the hospital.

They say they have lost confidence in management and have urged government to save the situation quickly reiterating their call on the health minister to change the leadership at KATH.

Meanwhile, a statement by the management of KATH stated “that Management of the Hospital has not sacked any Consultant Trainer at the Hospital as is being peddled falsely in the media”.**
