TTH ENGAGES STAKEHOLDERS ON FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN

Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) has engaged traditional authorities and community members in some selected communities. The engagement is part of stakeholder consultations on TTH’s five-year strategic plan, which aims to strengthen collaboration and advance healthcare delivery in Northern Ghana.
The engagement brought together officials of the hospital, traditional leaders, and community members to discuss key issues affecting healthcare service delivery, patient confidence, infrastructure, medical equipment, and the overall development of the hospital. The discussions also created an avenue for stakeholders to provide feedback and contribute ideas that will shape the hospital’s strategic direction over the next five years.
Staff of TTH used the platform to reaffirm the hospital’s commitment to delivering on its core mandate of providing quality tertiary healthcare services, conducting medical research, and training healthcare professionals. Management emphasized that the hospital remains focused on improving patient care and ensuring access to specialized health services for the people of Northern Ghana and beyond.
The engagement also provided an opportunity for the hospital to address misconceptions surrounding some aspects of its operations, including delays at service points, patient experiences, and the need to strengthen interactions between clients and healthcare professionals. Representatives of the hospital appealed to the public to seek information about the hospital from authorized sources and avoid the circulation of misinformation. According to the staff, inaccurate information can discourage patients from seeking timely medical care, potentially affecting health outcomes and delaying treatment.
Participants commended the hospital for creating an open platform for dialogue and accountability. They encouraged management to continue engaging stakeholders and communities in efforts to improve service delivery and strengthen public confidence in the institution. Traditional authorities also reaffirmed their commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at promoting the growth and development of Tamale Teaching Hospital. They pledged to advocate for the hospital within their respective communities and collaborate with management to address challenges affecting healthcare delivery.
TTH remains committed to fostering collaboration with stakeholders, strengthening public trust, and advancing its mission of providing excellent healthcare, training, and research for the benefit of the people of Northern Ghana as it works toward implementing its five-year strategic plan.

TTH EXTENDS PHYSIOTHERAPY AND STROKE PREVENTION SUPPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

The Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), through its Department of Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation, has extended health education, preventive care, and physiotherapy support to some communities in Tamale. This is part of activities marking World Physiotherapy Day 2026. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Exercise Today, Prevent Stroke Tomorrow.” The week-long celebration focused on raising awareness about stroke prevention, promoting regular physical activity, and highlighting the role of physiotherapy in maintaining health and preventing disability.
The Department undertook a series of community-focused activities, including home visits, media engagements, workplace and school outreaches, and a major community outreach at the Tamale Central Market. The events showcased TTH’s commitment to taking healthcare closer to the people.
Physiotherapy professionals assessed clients’ progress, identified challenges affecting their recovery within the home environment, and provided education to clients and their families on stroke prevention and the importance of regular physical activity. The Department also used radio and television engagements to reach a wider audience with practical information on stroke prevention, the benefits of exercise and simple ways of incorporating physical activity into everyday routines.
The outreach also provided free health screening, including blood pressure measurement, random blood sugar testing and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment, enabling members of the public to gain greater awareness of key health indicators associated with stroke and other non-communicable diseases.

“ANYTHING THAT HELPS SAVE A SINGLE BABY’S LIFE IS A BIG THING”- STAFF AT THE NICU HAILS GCB BANK PLC’S DONATION

Staff of GCB Bank PLC in Tamale have shown that no act of kindness is too small when it comes to saving the lives of vulnerable newborns. Staff under the GCB Staff Community Impact Programme donated medical equipment and consumables in response to the growing needs of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU provides care for sick and premature babies.
Items donated included suction machines, pulse oximeters, oxygen flow meters, a vein finder, and other important items. The donation aimed to strengthen neonatal care services in the NICU.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Management of Tamale Teaching Hospital and staff of the NICU, Dr. (MED) Fathea Bani expressed profound appreciation to GCB Bank PLC for extending its corporate social responsibility efforts to the unit. She noted that investing in newborn care is one way to impact lives. "The best place to impact lives is by investing in the future of Ghana, which is our newborn babies," she said.
According to Dr. Fathea, the equipment and consumables will support the delivery of care to vulnerable babies who are receiving treatment at the facility. She appealed to other organisations to support the NICU, stressing that every contribution, regardless of its size, can make a meaningful difference. "We don't see anything as small; anything that will help us to save a single babe's life is a big thing," she emphasised.
The donation comes at a crucial time for the unit, which admitted approximately 700 babies between January and August this year. The equipment is expected to support healthcare professionals in responding on time, especially with the increasing demand for specialised neonatal care.
