The Federation of Allied Health Professionals at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital believes that their lack of representation in top management leads to many of their problems being disregarded.
According to the Vice Chairman of the Chapter, Edward Ayem, the hospital has not owned a Computed Tomography (CT) scan since it broke down five years ago.
Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse on August 5, he said the current CT scan is owned by a private individual, which is worrying.
He added if they had representation at top management the hospital would have probably replaced faulty equipment to make their work easier.

“In Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, I am a radiographer and I am the head of MRI in Korle Bu, now we have a 640-slice CT scanner. They are three in Africa and Ghana has one. This machine in Korle Bu has been down for over five years
“The CT scanner currently we have in Korle Bu does not belong to Korle Bu. It is for a private individual. It's a PPP that is in Korle Bu that we are using. Korle Bu does not have its own CT scan,” he said.
Mr Ayem recounted instances where decisions relating to his department were carried out by others rather than him, without his input on the matter.
He stressed that if Allied Health Professionals had a director at management meetings, most of their concerns might probably be given the needed attention.
“One of us sitting at the table should be able to speak on the issues and speak to them well. Because we know we are able to appreciate each other. The doctors don’t respect us. That is the main crust of this matter," he added.
