Mothers of preterm babies who received care at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Tamale Teaching Hospital have expressed heartfelt appreciation to staff in the unit for their unwavering support, dedication, and compassion.
Speaking on behalf of the mothers during this year’s Preterm Babies Graduation Ceremony, Madam Doreen Doragia shared the group’s gratitude. She recounted the fears many of them had managing preterm babies, but noted that the guidance and encouragement from NICU team helped them navigate the challenges.
"When we were there, the services were excellent. They responded to our questions and provided words of encouragement," she said, acknowledging the critical role the doctors and nurses played in their journey.
The chairperson for the programme, Hajia Habibi Lawal, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer, paid glowing tribute to pediatricians Prof. Alhassan Abdul-Mumin and Dr. Kwarten for their instrumental roles in establishing the NICU. She noted that the unit has grown significantly over the years and revealed that in 2016 it was adjudged the second-best NICU in Ghana.
Hajia Habibi called for the expansion of the facility to enable more preterm babies to access essential, life-saving care.
The Acting Director of Nursing and Midwifery Services, Ms. Regina Mbo Atibila, praised the NICU team for their exceptional dedication. She commended the staff for their willingness to respond at all hours, emphasizing their vital role in improving outcomes for premature infants.

This year’s celebration was held under the theme “Equitable Care for Every Preterm Baby”, highlighting the ongoing commitment to ensuring that all premature infants receive the specialized care they deserve.
The ceremony reflected not only the triumphs of the infants who graduated from the NICU but also the deep bond between families and the healthcare professionals who supported them through their most challenging moments.

Addressing staff at a durbar on 18th November, 2025, the CEO observed a growing concerns about clients' experiences. He assured staff that Management is taking decisive steps to address the issues.
“We cannot overlook the rising concerns regarding patient experience. Leadership, communication, and customer care training is ongoing and will reach every cadre of staff,” he said.
To strengthen feedback and improve responsiveness, Dr. Bawah revealed that a 24-hour Customer Care Desk is being set up to ensure prompt attention to complaints and queries.
“No system can succeed without personal commitment from each of us. Respect, empathy, and professionalism must guide our daily practice,” he emphasized.

In recent months, the hospital has received several high-value donations including anesthesia machines, ventilators, and other essential medical supplies. These have been deployed to critical care units for immediate use.

“These developments are part of our broader effort to enhance efficiency and ensure better outcomes for the people we serve,” he added.
The durbar brought together staff from various departments, reflecting the management’s renewed commitment to teamwork, accountability, and improved service delivery across the hospital.
