The embattled CEO of the Tamale Teaching Hospital, Dr. David Zaawumya Akolbila, who was chased out of his office on Monday morning, August 13, 2018, by some irate youth has been re-instated.
This follows the intervention of the Regional Security Council REGSEC led by the Regional Minister, Salifu Sa-eed, when he visited the facility this morning to restore law and order. Early Monday morning, some irate youth stormed the Tamale Teaching Hospital, chased the CEO out and locked up his office.
The men numbering about ten alleged that he has been involved in some corrupt practices and misuse of hospital funds.
The minister who doubles as the chairman of REGSEC, condemned the act and said REGSEC is taking the matter seriously and would investigate thoroughly to bring the culprits to book.
He also promised to beef up security at the hospital to prevent the perennial disturbances caused by some irate groups.
The CEO of the hospital, Dr. David Akolbila, on his part commended REGSEC for their Swift intervention and subsequently taking the matter up.
He said the Tamale Teaching Hospital is a human institution and security zone and therefore the health of patients and people who visit the facility can not be trampled on.
Meanwhile, calm has since returned to the hospital. The Northern Regional Police Command, has commenced investigations to identify and bring to book the perpetrators of the act.
