Members of the Health Services Workers Union at the Kumasi South Hospital are protesting the posting of Dr Oheneba Owusu Danso, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to their facility.
The Director General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Patrick Kumah Aboagye, in a letter indicated the posting of Dr Oheneba Owusu Danso on a two-year contract as a Consultant in Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgeon at the Kumasi South Hospital.
Vice Chairman of the Health Services Workers Union at the Kumasi South Hospital, Joshua Lawrence Nii Adu Arday speaking on the issue said they heard the information on social media that Dr. Danso who is currently on retirement would be posted to their facility which they will certainly resist.
“Apparently we heard the news and saw it on social media about Dr Oheneba Owusu Danso who they are bringing to Kumasi South Hospital. If what we are hearing is the case, then I think we are not ready for him.
“He’s a plastic surgeon, what is he coming to do here? There are people here who are capable of handling affairs here. For God’s sake, he’s 65 years old. What is he coming to do.”
He, however, clarified that they are not against the government increasing staff numbers at the facility.
The facility is yet to be served with the letter on the appointment of Dr Oheneba Owusu Danso on a two-year contract as a Consultant in Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgeon at the health facility.
