Tamale Teaching Hospital Engages Stakeholders on a Five-Year Strategic Plan
In a decisive move to reshape healthcare delivery in northern Ghana, the Chief Executive Officer of Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Dr. Abubakari Bawah Abdulai, has rallied stakeholders to take an active role in crafting a forward-looking strategic plan aimed at elevating the hospital to new heights.
Speaking at a high-level stakeholder consultation in Tamale, Dr. Abdulai underscored the urgency of what he described as a “total reset” for the hospital. The new strategic direction, he explained, is designed to reposition TTH as a leading provider of high-quality, patient-centered care across the region.
“This strategic plan is not just a document; it is a commitment to excellence and accountability,” he stated. “We need your honest feedback, your ideas, and even your criticisms to ensure that we build a system that truly serves the people.”
The consultation brought together a diverse group of participants, many of whom are direct beneficiaries of the hospital’s services. Dr. Abdulai encouraged them to provide objective, practical, and innovative input that will help shape a roadmap capable of addressing longstanding challenges in healthcare delivery.
As part of the hospital’s transformation agenda, the CEO outlined several major initiatives already in progress. Chief among them is the construction of a new cardiology centre, funded through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund. The facility is expected to significantly boost access to specialized cardiac care in northern Ghana.
Beyond infrastructure, TTH is also strengthening its focus on patient experience and inclusivity. A dedicated customer care service has been operationalized, alongside the establishment of a gender desk to ensure equitable and sensitive healthcare delivery for all patients.
Additional improvements are underway in critical areas such as expanding bed capacity, enhancing oxygen supply in the hospital, and upgrading water, sanitation, and essential medical consumables. These measures aim to address immediate service delivery gaps while laying the foundation for long-term resilience.
Stakeholders at the session – representing various government agencies within the regional capital – actively contributed perspectives across key thematic areas. Their recommendations centered on improving efficiency, strengthening inter-agency collaboration, and enhancing overall service quality.
The meeting also featured strong backing from TTH’s leadership team, including the Director of Administration, Emmanuel S.K. Donkor, and the Director of Medical Affairs, Prof. Alhassan Abdul-Mumin, alongside several deputy directors. All reaffirmed their commitment to driving reform and innovation within the institution.

A two-day Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training and simulation programme has been organised for staff at the Paediatric and Child Health Department. The objective of the programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of frontline health workers in managing paediatric emergencies.
The initiative, which forms part of efforts to maintain and improve knowledge and practical skills in paediatric emergency care, brought together house officers and nurses for intensive training focused on the rapid assessment and management of critically ill children.
The training used low-fidelity, simulation-based learning cases to enhance participants’ ability to assess and manage acute paediatric cases. The training focuses on patient assessment, clinical reasoning, management, and follow-up care to ensure timely and high-quality treatment for children requiring emergency attention.

Management of Tamale Teaching Hospital-TTH has taken note of a social media post circulating on Facebook, which alleges a shortage of oxygen at the hospital.
Management wishes to categorically assure our clients and the general public that TTH has adequate oxygen supply to support all clinical services, and there is currently no disruption to oxygen availability within the facility.
It is important to clarify that one of the hospital’s oxygen plants is presently undergoing technical repairs. However, this development has not compromised the hospital’s ability to supply oxygen to patients. The other oxygen plants remain fully operational and continue to supply oxygen.
Furthermore, the hospital has enduring partnerships with other external institutions, including those mentioned in the allegation. The essence of these partnerships is such that the hospital could rely on them during down times of our oxygen plants. It must be emphasized that, as we speak, TTH does not owe any of the companies as stated.
The hospital therefore wishes to emphasize that patient care remains uninterrupted and no clinical service has been affected due to the shortage of oxygen supply as alleged.
While Management appreciates the important role of the media and the public in highlighting issues, we respectfully encourage all stakeholders to seek clarification through the appropriate channels before circulating information that may cause unnecessary public anxiety or misrepresent the situation on the ground.
TTH remains committed to patient safety, professionalism, and service with integrity. Kindly contact the Public Affairs Unit on 0242881674 or 0591854221 for further enquiry.
Thank you.

GOVERNMENT TO CONSTRUCT STATE-OF-THE-ART ONCOLOGY AND RADIOTHERAPY CENTRE AT TAMALE TEACHING HOSPITAL
The Government of Ghana has announced plans to construct a state-of-the-art oncology and radiotherapy centre at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), with the Jospong Group of Companies serving as the contractor for the project.
The announcement was made during a meeting between Management of TTH and officials of Jospong Group, acting on behalf of the government, to assess and initiate preparatory processes for the project. Following the meeting, both teams conducted a joint inspection of the proposed site earmarked for the construction within the hospital premises.
The new Oncology and Radiotherapy Centre, regarded as one of the three key pillars of comprehensive cancer management, will be the first facility of its kind in northern Ghana. It is expected to significantly reduce the burden on patients who currently travel long distances to access radiotherapy services in other parts of the country.
The Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Abubakari Bawah Abdulai expressed profound appreciation to the government for approving the project. He noted that the establishment of the centre would save many lives and greatly improve access to specialised cancer treatment in the northern sector.
“This facility will be a major milestone for healthcare delivery in northern Ghana. As one of the critical components of cancer management, it will bring much-needed relief to patients and their families,” he stated.
As part of the visit, the Jospong delegation also inspected the hospital’s waste treatment facilities and engaged Management on possible areas of improvement. Dr. Bawah indicated that although the hospital’s sewage treatment plant is currently operational, it functions manually and requires modernisation.
The CEO welcomed Jospong Group’s commitment to upgrade the waste management system to a more advanced, state-of-the-art facility. He described the intervention as timely and essential for maintaining high standards of environmental health and safety.
The delegation further interacted with staff and patients at the Nelly Oncology Centre, reaffirming the government's commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
