Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has sought to ease tensions by publicly apologizing following his controversial unannounced visit to the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) on April 22, 2025.

The visit, prompted by the death of a patient, Bavug Salim, allegedly due to the lack of a functional ventilator, has sparked widespread criticism and led to a strike by the Doctors Association of Tamale Teaching Hospital (DATTH).

A video of a heated exchange between Akandoh and Dr. Valentine Akwulpwa, Head of the Accident and Emergency Department, went viral, fueling public debate.

In response, DATTH suspended emergency and outpatient services, citing “unwarranted attacks” from the minister and demanding an apology, as well as the provision of essential medical equipment.

At a press briefing in Accra on April 24, Akandoh emphasized his respect for health workers and denied any intention to disrespect them.

“I have absolutely no intention to disrespect any medical doctor or health worker; that will be the last thing I will do. But let it be said that respect is reciprocal”.

He appealed to the striking doctors to return to work, assuring them of his commitment to addressing their concerns.

“My humble appeal to the medical doctors and health practitioners at Tamale Teaching Hospital is that I am the first person to take care of your interests. Therefore, let us call off the strike and let us all regroup and strategise the way forward”.

Akandoh also highlighted the need for better resource management, suggesting that some issues could be addressed using internally generated funds.
