Congratulation Dr. Nsiah Asare may the good Lord be grant you wisdom.
Congratulations, Dr Nsiah-Asare. May the good Lord grant you the wisdom to excell.
The only problem I have with Nsiah Asare is that whilst he was at Komfo-Anokye not even a single mortality meeting was conducted. Many Ghanaians cannot hire a lawyer so their best bet is an internal system which ensures health accountability and there is no better way to do it than to continue with the weekly mortality meetings. In his new role Anthony Nsiah Asare must ensure that mortality meetings are conducted in all public and private hospitals. Akufo-Addo must give him this warning. Nsiah-Asare did not take interest in allegations of examinations malpractice at SMS-KATH. This must also change.
he shd better the health sector not to amass wealth for himself and party o
If he is over 65 years old he cannot serve in that role as enjoined by the constitution.
