The Senior Staff Association of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, (KOSSA), say they will not rest on their oars until the management of the hospital fully address their concerns.<\/p>\n
KOSSA has accused the management of financial malfeasance, an accusation the management denies.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”uHmgVhF5KkLkqC4flByzLi4JtXQ4fVtd”]About ninety percent of the members KOSSA passed a vote of no confidence in the\u00a0Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, Dr. Gilbert Buckle, after accusing him of mismanaging the hospital\u2019s internally generated funds and paying needless judgment debts while neglecting the welfare of staff of the hospital.<\/p>\n
KOSSA’s call for his resignation received the backing of the members of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association at\u00a0Korle-Bu.<\/p>\n
The two groups\u00a0are currently in court over disciplinary proceedings being taken against the leadership of KOSSA.<\/p>\n
The KOSSA President, Charles Offei Palm, indicated that his association\u00a0will continue to fight the leadership of the hospital until the management does the right thing, particularly in the management of finances.<\/p>\n
“This is Ghana;\u00a0we have a constitution. The constitution says that Korle-Bu is a public entity so there are rules and regulations that govern the establishment of a fund as it applies to a public entity so we would\u00a0like to see that followed.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Offei Palm however\u00a0stressed\u00a0that the Association is only looking out for the hospital’s interests which has a direct bearing on workers.<\/p>\n
“…That is why we are more concerned for the viability of the hospital and that is why we continue to criticize negative tendencies that tend to make the hospital non-viable.”<\/p>\n
The KOSSA President also argued that, “The closures of all those clinical areas simply means that patients are suffering, and above all, there will be no revenue. But if you don\u2019t meet your revenue target, how are you likely to meet your expenditure?\u201d<\/p>\n
