According to the Association, he has the expertise to turn around the fortunes of the health facility.

[contextly_sidebar id=”mcGYuL1mJrtQ2ZXTTnm32tplkC8ejA2n”]The Minister of Health, with the approval of President Akufo-Addo appointed Mr. Anyah to serve as the new CEO of the hospital.

Dr. Anyah who owns the Holy Trinity Health and Spa farm at Sogakope in the Volta Region has distinguished himself in the health and hospitality industry, receiving a plethora of awards in recognition of his efforts in that area.

His new role will see him oversee the day-to-day running of the health facility which has a long-standing record of stern opposition from its senior staff association.

But the President of KOSSA, Charles Offei-Palm in an interview with Citi News said it has no intention of contending with the new Chief Executive.

According to him, KOSSA only opposes the actions of the hospital’s management which it finds detrimental to the development of the facility.

“We fight CEOs who mismanage our funds, those who don’t follow processes and procedure, those who chop the money of Korle-Bu to see patients die. Looking at his [Dr. Anyah] background and his knowledge in healthcare delivery, we believe strongly that he can turn Korle-Bu around and so we are hoping to work with him to bring Korle-Bu to the standard we all want it to be,” he said.

66-year-old Dr. Anyah is a well-known Ghanian medical practitioner who pioneered health spa and farm in West Africa.

Dr. Anyah takes over from Dr Samuel Asiamah who is the acting CEO of the hospital following the self-termination of service by Dr Gilbert Buckle who reportedly ended his service in February this year.

Dr. Buckle, before his departure faced numerous tussles with the Korle Bu Senior Staff Association (KOSSA) who among other things, raised issues about certain decisions he made.

The Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in spite of its admirable status as one of the few major health facilities in the country is bedeviled with many challenges that appear to be insurmountable in spite of the many changes in administration.

The situation of the hospital was described by the Minister for Environment Science and Technology, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng as a ‘monster’ that cannot be killed.

The former Head of the National Cardiothoracic Centre who worked for several years at the hospital said during his ministerial vetting that “it has become a bigger monster that you cannot kill and you cannot eat.”
