Members of the newly appointed Board of Directors of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) have called for ceasefire between staff and management of the hospital.
Interacting with the media, the Board Chairman, Dr. Abdullah Tinorgah, emphasized the need for the hospital staff to exhaust internal conflict resolution mechanisms in addressing their grievances.
He said the staff and management needed to maintain a cordial relationship to deepen efficiency at the Hospital.

He revealed the Board’s decision to rapidly appoint substantive Directors for the various departments, adding that the new board is determined to reinvigorate the hospital to meet international standard.
As a major referral health facility serving the three regions of the north, the Tamale Teaching Hospital is bedeviled with a myriad of administrative challenges.
Insubordination and the formation of parallel authority at the departmental levels are the biggest challenges there.
An attempt to privatize the hospital’s laboratory heightened tension between management and staff of the lab department, which led to the suspension of the decision.
Whiles management thought the decision could deepen public-private-partnership; the laboratory staff were strongly opposed to it.
