The National Service Scheme has commenced investigations into the conduct of its Ashanti Regional Director in resolving friction between his daughter, a medical officer, and a nurse.

Alex Opoku-Mensah is reported to have stormed the Manhyia Hospital to verbally abuse a nurse for allegedly correcting his daughter’s wrongful prescription for a two-year-old convulsion patient.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) described the incident as “unfortunate” and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

NSS summons Alex Opoku Mensah

On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, an audio recording of Alex Opoku Mensah surfaced in the media space in which he was heard hurling insults at the nurse at the facility.

The nurse upon noticing the medical blunder called on the young doctor to rectify the wrongful medication.

According to eyewitnesses, the medical officer who prescribed the wrong dosage took offence and reported the issue to her father who later visited the health facility to angrily insult the nurse.

Meanwhile, Mr Opoku-Mensah since the incident rendered an unqualified apology for verbally abusing a nurse at the Manhyia Hospital.

n a Facebook post, Mr Opoku-Mensah said the modus operandi he employed in handling the friction between his daughter who is a doctor and the nurse “has never been my style.”

According to him, he sought to mediate the issue between the duo because he considered the nurse involved as his daughter as well.

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has since issued a statement calling for the immediate removal of Mr Opoku-Mensah from office for the misbehaviour.

The nurses threatened that they will call upon their members at the facility to boycott their duties if Mr. Alex Opoku Mensah is not sacked within the next 72 hours.
