President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been re-appointed Dr Felix Kwaku Anyah as the board chairman of the Ho Teaching Hospital.

He said, he will equip the hospital with a quaternary service that will liaise with international accreditation bodies such as JCI International in order to promote medical/health tourism to the hospital and the Volta region as well as make Ghana a Medical Tourism hub.
“I am passionate about health and wellness tourism,” he said, “with my experience in health, medical and wellness tourism is a vehicle that if we take seriously and put in the right mechanisms we can attract clients from the sub-region and change our financials.”
Other members of the board are: Ernest Yao Gaewu, Legal Practitioner; Dr Emmanuel Kofi Amponsah, Medical Practitioner; Dr Prince Sodoke Amuzu, Allied Health Professional; Dr Audu Rauf, Pharmacist; Felix Nyante, head of the Nursing and Midwifery Council; Prof. John Gyapong, representative of University Council; Dr Sylvia Ayele Deganus, representative of University Council; Victor Andy Danku, Private Sector Businessperson and Dr John Tampouri, CEO Ho Teaching Hospital.
