The President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, has relieved Dr. Adam Atiku of his duties as the Chief Executive Officer of the Tamale Teaching Hospital. The announcement was confirmed today, shortly after tensions flared between the Health Minister and a staff member of the hospital following the reported death of a patient.
Sources indicate that the dismissal is directly linked to an altercation that erupted within the hospital premises. Eyewitnesses say the clash between the Health Minister and the hospital staff became heated after accusations of negligence emerged in connection with the patient’s death.
While the exact details surrounding the incident remain unclear, the development has sparked widespread debate across social media and the medical community, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to both the patient’s death and the subsequent administrative action.
Dr. Atiku, who has been serving as CEO for several years, has not publicly commented on his dismissal. The Ministry of Health is yet to release an official statement detailing the reasons behind the President’s decision.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
