The tension between senior staff of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the board of directors of the nation’s premier health facility,\u00a0\u00a0appears to have intensified as\u00a0the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and the board ignored\u00a0the inauguration of new offices for the Senior Staff Association.<\/p>\n
The President of the Korle-Bu Senior Staff Association, Charles Ofei-Palm, told Citi News<\/strong> that the association invited the CEO and the board but did not receive any response from them.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”SD1OmLnlxrlosBg4HHwRj9Xk0BADCJAs”]\u201cWe invited the CEO and all the directors of the hospital to come and celebrate the inauguration of our office with us. None of them showed up. We didn\u2019t get any response from them either. We therefore had to cancel the inauguration and let our members go into the facility to see what was there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He said the cancellation of the inauguration was due to the absence of the CEO and the board of directors.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout the presence of our directors and CEO, we cannot go ahead and inaugurate an office that belongs to the entire hospital staff. We need to inaugurate it in the presence of at least one of the directors but none of them showed up. We don\u2019t know why.\u201d<\/p>\n The board of directors for the hospital and the senior staff have been at each other\u2019s throat after the senior staff called for the resignation of the CEO. They accused him and the board of directors of mismanaging the hospital\u2019s internally generated funds.<\/p>\n The board however stated its unflinching support for the CEO and this has somewhat muddied the relationship between them.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Jeffrey Owuraku Sarpong\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n
