Komfo Anokye doctors accuse government of selling their land to private developers

Some health professionals of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, including some senior doctors, have accused the government of selling the land their bungalows have been built on to private developers.

According to the chairman of the Komfo Anokye Doctors Association, Dr Michael Leat, about 30 doctors, including specialist doctors and heads of departments, as well as other professionals working in the hospital, including hospital administrators, police and military personnel, have been given a one-week ultimatum to move out of their bungalows.

Speaking in an interview with Adom FM on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, Dr Leat said that even though they were aware that the said land had been sold to private developers, there was an understanding that they would only be moved if an alternative housing is provided.

“For about a year now doctors, hospital administrators and commanders leaving at Danyame have known that the land we were staying on had been sold to private developers.

“Only for them to come and tell us yesterday (Monday, March 11, 2024) that they have given us one week to find somewhere to go and live.

He added, “As it stands now, as the chairman of the Komfo Anokye Doctors Association, nobody has told us that they have a place for us to relocate to.

He added that the doctors have been given notice for over a year to move out of the said land.Watch the interviews below:
