Ghana – Yentik Garba Jatoe Writes: TTH Management board must be dismissed

And I am totally saddened by the monetization of our health systems and the apparent appalling state of sanitation and mosquitoes in the only premiere teaching hospital in the North. It’s mind boggling and a threat to public life as far as national security is concerned.

Someone should please tell the Director General of Health, to call the management of Tamale Teaching Hospital to order.

Health Insurance is nothing more than a rubber stamp! I weep for the ordinary man on the street;  i mean the poor who can’t afford to pay.

I can foresee avoidable deaths, and i can imagine the uncountable innocent deaths resulting from inability to pay.

At TTH, you either go for the drugs or your patient is left unattended to, and subsequently passes on. It’s quite disheartening that people’s lives are shortchanged for money.

LIVES are not saved first; rather money first. This defies the ethical principles which underpins the  conduct of the professional health worker, to value life over money. And is that the training our health professionals got from school?

On sanitation, I had to carry with me, empty sachets of water back home because I couldnt find a dustbin to drop the empty sachets. Unlike me, many throw these sachets and stuff anywhere, and anyhow. No dustbins, and no one is assigned to pick these things regularly. And this has made the whole TTH a rubbish dumb because everyone dumps anywhere he or she finds OK.

This, I observed, with total distress and worry, and just wonder if management of the hospital is in deed doing their work. My humble appeal! It is about sending information to those who matter to take action , not keeping quite.

Silence never solve problems. Even at creation, God did not remain silence over what he created. He spoke the word, and it was done!

Therefore speak, so that, you will/may be heard!
