The suspended Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Dr. (Med) Paa Kwesi Baidoo, has appealed to striking staff to return to work, deferring his fate to the Minister of Health and the KATH Board.
In a letter addressed to all staff members of the hospital dated Monday, June 8, Dr. Baidoo expressed gratitude for the solidarity shown by staff since his suspension but urged them to prioritise the welfare of patients and Ghanaians above the industrial action.
“I need you all to return back to duty in the supreme interest of Ghanaians and our valued patients, whilst I defer the outcome and directions to the supreme wisdom of the Hon. Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh (MP), and the Board of KATH,” the letter stated.
