The CEO of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Dr. Adam Atiku has called on healthcare professionals to embrace patient-centered communication in their interactions. Speaking at an orientation program for newly posted house officers, Dr. Atiku emphasized that TTH is not only a hub for clinical care but also a leader in compassionate service delivery.

“Our mission extends beyond treating illnesses. We prioritize compassionate care, ensuring that every client’s needs and dignity are respected,” Dr. Atiku stated. He urged clinicians to be advocates for their clients, emphasizing, “Always seek what is in the best interest of the clients.”

Highlighting the hospital’s commitment to excellence, Dr. Atiku announced that TTH’s laboratory is now equipped with ultra-modern facilities, promising high-quality results to support clinical decision-making.
