A member on the management board of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Stella Quaye has called for the immediate dissolution of the governing Board of the hospital.
Mrs. Stella Quaye is arguing the Board has failed in its core business, which is delivering of quality clinical services to the hospital.
In a forceful presentation of her views on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, Mrs. Stella Quaye noted that the Board Chairman, the CEO and the Director for Medical Affairs are all Clinicians, yet the Board has failed to deliver excellent clinical services to the hospital.
Health authorities at the KBTH have been battling for more than one week now to contain the outbreak of a deadly bacteria, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococus Aureus (MRSA), leading to the closure of the children’s emergency ward.
Mrs. Quaye queried:‘If these people are there and such things are happening at Korle-Bu, do you think we have done well, we haven’t".
She said the internal wrangling in the hospital has affected quality health delivery.
‘As we speak now, Korle-Bu we don’t have competent or efficient Director to manage the hospital’, she said.
The Board member said the Administrative Director, Nelson Menorkpor who was sacked by the Board Chairman took the matter to court and the court restrained the board from taking such decision.
She noted that after the court’s ruling, the Board did not meet, but found out later that the Administrative Director’s office had been locked by the Board Chairman.
The Board Chairman’s decision to lock up the office of Administrative Director might have led to the series of internal wrangling in the hospital, which, in turn, have affected quality health delivery.
The Board member said the Director of Administration is the only trained Director to manage the hospital whose impact kept the country’s premier hospital growing, “but this man was not allowed to use his vast knowledge to transform the hospital”.
Mrs. Quaye said she and other members who wrote a petition to President Mills are yet to receive a response, but hope to get one soon
She therefore appealed to the President to take urgent measures to save the image of the hospital from collapsing.
