The entire membership of the Management at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital 🏥 (KATH) have visited some directorates at the facility to interact with staff, encourage them and also ascertain their operational challenges for redress.
The CEO and team engaged the staff on their operational challenges and suggested ways that can enhance the quality of care for patients.

The CEO used the opportunity to commend them for their hard work and sacrifices.
History:
Prof Addai-Mensah said Tuesday’s tour of the directorates was not novel but has been periodic since his tenure as CEO.
He stated that he had been going with on these rounds with the Medical Director, Director of Nursing and Director of Pharmacy who have direct supervision of the clinical directorates.
“The rounds we did today was not novel but the difference is that this time all the management members who supervise the directorates were present with their technical and support teams and we plan to do more of such. I must add that since management was not able to do all the directorates today we would subsequently visit the wards and other sections such as the Family Medicine Directorate, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Directorates, the Eye Center and Physiotherapy Centre to ascertain for ourselves what goes on there”, Prof Addai-Mensah stressed.
