Mahama Sacks Tamale Teaching Hospital CEO Following Allegations Of Negligence

President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed the Chief Executive Officer of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Dr. Adam Atiku, following reports of alleged negligence that led to the recent death of a patient at the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Ward.

The decision comes amid growing concerns about the deteriorating state of healthcare delivery at the facility, where several essential medical equipment are reportedly non-functional.

In response to the situation, Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, paid an unannounced visit to the hospital on Tuesday, April 22, as part of a broader effort to assess the challenges facing healthcare delivery in the Northern Region.

Speaking during the visit, the Minister expressed serious concern over the number of idle medical machines, despite payments being made to suppliers.

He also highlighted the impact of the ongoing water crisis in Tamale on hospital operations, describing it as a broader regional issue that requires urgent presidential intervention.

Addressing plans to resolve the hospital’s equipment issues, Mr. Akandoh said any action from the Ministry would be informed by the priorities set by hospital management.

He urged residents to continue using the hospital’s services, assuring them of improved healthcare delivery.

“When we finish with them, we will all think through it, because I can not do it all alone, I have to involve them, and we are thinking through it together. Everybody should remain calm and let us continue to patronise the facility,” he stated.
