The Tamale Teaching Hospital has had challenges in maintaining a Chief Executive Officer for some years now as persons appointed to occupy the position have had to face threats from some party youth groups of the two major political parties; NDC and NPP which subsequently lead to their removal from office. The case of Dr. Kolbila is not different, but the board has explained that, Dr. Kolbila has not been fired, sacked or removed from office as reported in a section of the media. The statement entreated all staff and stakeholders to cooperate with the current acting CEO in discharging his duties. "It is therefore, our desire as a Board that staff, clients and stakeholders would accord Dr. Kareem Mumuni the optimal support needed to successfully execute his duties as the interim acting CEO of the hospital for this period”.
