In a statement issued yesterday, Thursday, October 3, the Board chaired by Dr David Nkansa-Dwamena, expressed gratitude to Dr Ampomah for his dedication and tireless efforts in steering the hospital towards excellence.

Dr Ampomah, a highly respected Consultant Plastic Surgeon, has had an outstanding career, notably serving as Director of the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre.
His contributions to the health sector, particularly in the areas of reconstructive surgery, have been significant, and his leadership at Korle Bu, has played an essential role in the hospital’s growth and development.
