Dr. Thomas Anaba<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to vacate his post as directed in a letter from the ministry.<\/p>\nAccording to him, Dr. Anaba cannot continue to hold out himself as the head of the facility since he would not be accorded with that respect.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”7YtjtelYXTs7jn04dUGkcUlXXWVqCfqs”]Tension is brewing at the Hospital following the refusal of Dr. Thomas Anaba to leave his office in spite of a letter from the Ministry of Health that he leaves the facility.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Anaba, the Ministry has failed to provide reasons for the decision to relief him of his post, noting that it was acting on bad faith.<\/p>\n
But according to the Public Relations Officer of the Health Ministry, Mr. Cudjoe, Dr. Anaba must accept the decision and \u201cgo on with life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think he will continue to be that adamant. Even Yahya\u00a0Jammeh refused to go and he was made to leave the scene so I don\u2019t think he can continue to be at the Hospital as head while a letter is saying he has been transferred. It wouldn\u2019t even auger well for him psychologically. He let bygone by bygone and just go on with life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
While struggling to provide a justification of the Ministry\u2019s decision, Mr. Cudjoe said it was \u201cnormal\u201d for Dr. Anaba to be moved from the health facility since he was a public servant.<\/p>\n
Mr. Cudjoe told Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, that Dr. Anaba was being transferred to back to the University for Development Studies hospital, where he formerly worked.<\/p>\nSome reports said Mr. Anaba was being transferred because he allegedly campaigned for a candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) but Dr. Anaba has refuted the claims saying it may be a case of mistaken identity since he did not ever campaign for any political party ahead of the December 2016 elections.<\/p>\n
He accused the Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang Manu of abusing power, adding that the Ministry had not event communicated any proper transition process.<\/p>\n
Dr. Thomas Anaba was appointed as medical director of the Ridge Hospital on February 1, 2016, by the former government and his appointed letter stated that his tenure ends in 2020.<\/p>\n
Some staff of the hospital protested Mr. Anaba\u2019s appointment asking that his deputy, Emmanuel Kwabla Srofenyoh be appointed the head instead.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Citi News<\/strong> has gathered that the Minister of Health has appointed Dr. Emmanuel Srogenyoh to take charge of the hospital as its acting Medical Director.<\/p>\n–<\/p>\n
