Tensions escalate at Agogo South Hospital as Dr Oheneba Owusu-Danso‘s reengagement sparks controversy.
The hospital, also known as Agogo hospital, serves as the Ashanti regional hospital in Kumasi.
Dr. Owusu-Danso, the former CEO of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), was reappointed after initially being appointed as acting CEO in 2017 by President Nana Akufo Addo.
His tenure extended for four years and an additional two years until 2022. Upon his retirement, Prof. Dr Ochere Addai Mensah, former Dean of Students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, was appointed by the government.
This move has sparked tension among Agogo South Hospital’s staff, leading to potential protests.
