The Concerned Citizens Association of Tamale (CCAT) has expressed concern about increasing rate of theft in the Neurosurgical Unit of the Tamale Teaching Hospital and has called for immediate investigations.
Basharu Daballi, President of the Association said in a statement issued in Tamale that the group is committed to assisting the Ministry of Health (MoH) in salvaging the hospital from diabolic activities of individuals who parade and disguise themselves as staff.
He said many citizens in the region had been alarmed at the increasing rate of missing equipment at the neurosurgical unit of the hospital. He claimed that some staff of the hospital offloaded oxygen cylinders meant for use in the hospital from a hospital pickup to a vulganizer.
He said issues of institutional misconduct and savagery against the collective interests of the group as citizens of the region had to stop.
Mr. Daballi commended the authorities of the hospital for putting in efforts to get to the bottom of the matter, adding that his group is, however, not satisfied with the endeavour.
He appealed to the MoH to consider dissolving the hospital’s governing board and compel the Chief Executive Officer to resign so as to pave way for proper investigation into the matter.
