MEMBERS of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Choir suspended their regular services at the hospital for a few hours last Wednesday and replaced them with melodious singing at the forecourt of the hospital to mark the end of a successful year.
Overwhelmed by the enormous talent displayed by the KATH Choir during the two-hour annual KATH Thanksgiving programme, the acting Chief Executive of KATH, Professor Ohene Adjei, noted, “Our choir has proved that they have the talent and ability to represent KATH at any choral concert anytime and anywhere around the globe”.
The KATH choir is comprises medical staff: nurses, doctors and ward assistants of the hospital.
Agya Nyame, Nyame Ye Odo, I Will Lift Up Your Name High and Anwanwa Do were some of the songs that moved the gathering to give the choir a standing ovation.
The other nurses, doctors, ward assistants and laboratory technicians who were not particularly gifted in singing took to the floor and displayed rare dancing skills which earned them considerable applause from the gathering.
In an address, the Regional Minister, Mr Kofi Opoku Manu, who was the guest of honour, appealed to the KATH medical staff to do away with all attitudes that undermine delivery of quality health care.
“May your hearts and minds be touched and filled with mercy as we enter a new year to enable your offer quality health care for the numerous clients who troop to the hospital daily,” he said.
“You should resolve to offer the best of services to patients for them to appreciate your effort, so that even in death, they would admire and acknowledge that you did your best to save their lives”.
For his part, the Professor Ohene Adjeicommended the staff for their commitment to duty and appealed to them to use internal mechanisms of addressing their problems instead of resorting to industrial action.
He pointed out that resorting to industrial action to address their grievances overshadowed the sacrifices they made to save the lives of their patients.
