Traditional Authorities in the Northern Region have expressed their displeasure over the negative reports about the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
According to the Traditional rulers anytime there is news about the TTH it’s always in the bad light.
These concerns was raised when representative of the Yaa-Naa in Tamale, Gulkpegu Naa Alhassan Abdulai sent a delegate to meet with the management of the hospital on development on the development of the facility.
Speaking at the meeting on behalf of the Chief the Kpalun Zobogu Na Naa, Mohamed Rashad said lots of stories have gone wide for the bad reasons. He said the chiefs are not happy anytime these negative stories come out.
Naa Rashad said it was time they collaborated to solve the challenges facing the hospital.
“A lot of stories have gone far and wide in relation to this Tamale Teaching Hospital for bad reasons and because of that anytime we hear those kind of stories we don’t become happy as traditional authorities especially on whose land the hospital is situated so he said we should tell you he is not happy at all” he said.
Naa Rashad said in the past they generalized all the negative stories to be from the TTH but there was the need to begin to segregate these stories and investigate them individually according to the department they emanate from.
”Those days when the stories come out we look at it as TTH in general but now we believe that the problem cannot be the entire TTH, the entire TTH cannot be doing sometime wrong but may be a department or someone who is doing something wrong to tarnish the image of the TTH,” Naa Rashad added.
He said in the past non indigents who were posted to the hospital distinguished themselves so well that when it was time to for them to retire the chiefs did not want them to leave.
“In the past some non indigents performed so well that when it was time for them to leave we didn’t want them to go but the law said when your time come you should leave and let fresh bone come. But what we are seeing today is different from yester years,” he said.
But hospital Administrator Emmanuel Donko responding to the concerns said most of the issues were staged and blamed the media for what he said are untrue stories.
