The Ranking Member of Parliament’s Committee on Health, Dr. Richard Winfred Anane has condemned the politicization of health delivery in the country. According to him, the current 1:1,000 nurse to patient ratio in the country must concern all Ghanaians and that, politicizing health delivery will only lead to many deaths because patients who seek health care do not go to the hospitals dressed in party colours. Dr. Richard Anane, who is the MP for Nhyeaso in Kumasi made this comment in reaction to the dismissal of Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng by the Minister of Health as Head of the Cardiothoracic Center. The dismissal of Prof Frimpong Boateng, who is a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been attributed to his political affiliation, but Dr. Anane has argued that if someone is fit for a particular position, the political affiliation of the that person should be ignored. Dr. Richard Anane told Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Monday that, he had talks with Prof Frimpong Boateng just after the dismissal letter was issued to him and later spoke with the Health Minister, Joseph Yieleh Chireh to rescind the decision because the timing was wrong. Dr. Richard Anane said the enormous contribution by Prof Frimpong Boateng to the Cardiothoracic Center cannot be thrown in the gutter because of his political affiliation. He noted that this is the second time the NDC had embarrassed Prof Frimpong Boateng after he was sacked as Chief Executive Officer of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, which to him is not the best thing to do to one person who engineered the establishment of the Cardio Center which is one of the best four centers in Africa. Meanwhile, former Chief Executive Officer at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare has said that victimizing political opponents in the health sector was becoming too rampant. According to Dr. Nsiah Asare, Prof Frimpong Boateng has not been treated fairly as he was also treated when he was the CEO for KATH. Dr. Nsiah Asare said his appointment as CEO for KATH was terminated on 29 August 2009 with immediate effect and since then he has been at home without working yet receiving salary. He said he was worried he was at home at the time the country needed more Doctors, but because of political reasons he had been relieved of his post.
