These were some of the issues KOSSA   was speaking against that brought it into collision with the then administration,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>KOSSA, however added that structures are being put in place to restore clinical and investigative services in the foreseeable future   and DNA service is part of the restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,  the group has rejected claims in some quarters  that the hospital urgently needs a board .<\/p>\n<p>The Concerned Action Movement  recently petitioned  the presidency  to quickly reconstitute  a new  Board for the Teaching  Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deem this action as highly inappropriate and an attempt to stampede government into hasty reconstitution of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital Board<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trust government&#8217;s ability to constitute a fitting Board that will team up with management to continue the positive works we have witnessed lately under the leadership of the Acting Chief Executive, Dr Felix Anyah,\u201d  KOSSA  said. <\/p>\n<p>It said under leadership of Dr Anyah,  the hospital has been able to refurbish the oxygen plants, which is saving the hospital thousands of cedis.<\/p>\n<p>It has also put in place ICT and telephone systems in sensitive areas, donated a food van, motorbikes for security patrols in the hospital, two cars as awards to elicit the best performance and attitudes from staff and the peaceful staff\/ management relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The union said it is convinced that  Dr. Felix Anyah has the vision and the requisite experience to transform the hospital.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 9 February 2018 Source: atinkaonline.com 2018-02-09 The union said it is convinced that Dr. Anyah had requisite experience to transform the hospital The Korle-Bu Senior Staff Association (KOSSA) and the Health Service Workers Union have debunked reports that the new management under Dr Felix Anyaa sold the hospital\u2019s DNA machine to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":417442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-463008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463008\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
