Ridge Regional Hospital Medical Director Dr Thomas Anaba

Ridge Hospital Director Anaba sacked
The medical director of Ridge Regional Hospital Dr
Thomas Anaba has been relieved of his post,
Starrfmonline.com can confirm.

Dr. Anaba’s appointment was supposed to last
till 2020 and had the option to re-apply but has
been revoked. He was appointed on February 1, 2016
during the tenure of former President John
Mahama.

It is unclear why the Public Service Commission
and the Ghana Health Service (GHS) Council
terminated his appointment, but sources within the
medical circles have cited “political
reasons.”

Confusion over appointment

His appointment was characterised by a series of
protests at Ridge after staff objected to his
selection, citing incompetence and a breach in the
selection process.

The staff, with posters splashed on walls of the
hospital, threatened a breakdown in the service
delivery if Dr Emmanuel Srofenyo, popularly known
as Srof, who was acting medical director then, was
not made the head of the hospital.


Among other reasons the posters cited for the
preference of Dr Srofenyo, who is a consultant
obstetrician/gynaecologist, were he has stayed
with the hospital during difficult times and
exhibits commitment, good governance, innovation
and team work.

“No Srof No Medical Director, Srof, A Faithful
And Committed Servant Of Ridge, Srof Nie, Good
Governance, Team Work And Innovation Nie! No Srof
As Medical Director, No Work,” the posters
read.

However, after investigating the allegations
raised in the petition, the appointing authority
in consultation with the Public Service Commission
cleared Dr Anaba of the allegations and maintained
him as the new medical director.
