 According to a letter signed by Dr. Calistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, the necessary steps should be taken to regularize the appointment in accordance with the Ghana Health Service and Teaching Hospitals Act 1996 (Act 525) as amended.

This development comes after Professor Okyere Addai Mensah was relieved of his duties as CEO of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
