Tamale Teaching Hospital CEO sacked

President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed the Chief Executive Officer of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Dr. Adam Atiku, following reports of alleged negligence that led to the recent death of a patient at the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Ward.

The decision comes amid growing concerns about the deteriorating state of healthcare delivery at the facility, where several essential medical equipment are reportedly non-functional.

In response to the situation, Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, paid an unannounced visit to the hospital on Tuesday, April 22, as part of a broader effort to assess the challenges facing healthcare delivery in the Northern Region.
