Agogo Hospital which is serving as the Ashanti regional hospital in Kumasi, is experiencing a rise in tension due to the reappointment of Dr. Oheneba Owusu-Danso.

Dr. Owusu-Danso previously held the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).

In 2017, President Akufo Addo appointed Dr. Oheneba Owusu-Danso as the acting CEO of the Teaching Hospital.

He was subsequently confirmed as the CEO for the facility with a four-year mandate to oversee the day-to-day operations of Ghana's second premier health center.

Upon the completion of his initial four-year term, Dr. Owusu-Danso's service was extended by an additional two years, culminating in 2022.

Following his retirement, the government appointed Prof. Dr. Dr. Ochere Addai Mensah, the former Dean of Students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), to succeed him.

The reappointment of Dr. Owusu-Danso has triggered tensions within Agogo South Hospital.
