The Management of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has sanctioned 16 workers for various infractions.
The sanctioning forms part of efforts by the management to tighten rules to check indiscipline at the facility.
One of the affected staff members has been dismissed while others have been cautioned with some suspended without pay.
The infractions according to the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, Professor Otchere Addai-Mensah included extortions by some of the dismissed workers.
“One thing that we have not toyed with is discipline in the hospital and about sixteen staff have been sanctioned for various offences. The exhortation has come up a couple of times and many other offences reported too. The quality assurance unit has been strengthened, and it is largely responsible for setting up committees to investigate issues like this and make recommendations to management which then are forwarded to the disciplinary committee which takes a decision on what sanctions should be meted out to culprits.”
He has also revealed that the hospital will soon renovate the old Gee Block in the Hospital.
Speaking at the Hospital’s 2023 mid-year performance review conference in Kumasi, Professor Addai-Mensah said “We are on a drive to raise about $10 million for the renovation of the old Gee Block. That Block was built in 1954 and has been in operation for almost 70 years and there has not been any thorough renovation of that Block.”
