The CEO of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Gilbert Buckle, has ended his service to the hospital stating that “his efforts, like a seed that is planted, will take time to germinate and even longer to grow to maturity”.

This was contained in an open letter by Dr Buckle whose term as CEO ended on 1st February, 2017.

Dr Buckle boasts of over 20 years’ working experience in the public and private health sectors in Ghana, with more than 12 years in senior management and leadership roles.

There had been numerous tussles between his administration and the Korle Bu Senior Staff Association (KOSSA) who raised issues about certain expenditures of the outgoing CEO.

With his departure, Dr Samuel Asiamah is set to act as CEO beginning 2nd February, 2017 per the instructions of the director of the Ministry of Health, ClassFMonline.com has learnt.
