The Ashanti Regional Director for the National Service Scheme (NSS), Alex Poku Mensah, a.k.a Omens, has apologised for attacking a nurse verbally at the Manhyia District Hospital in Kumasi last Sunday.
Mr Mensah was caught on tape in verbal exchanges with a nurse at the Manhyia District Hospital in Kumasi last Sunday, November 27 2022.
That heat resulted in some insults rained on the said nurse.
The NSS Boss was at the Manhyia District Hospital to intercede in what he claimed was an intimidation of his daughter, who is a doctor on a housemanship at the hospital.
NSS Boss, Mr Poku Mensah, in an unqualified apology issued in the early hours of Tuesday, November 29, 2022, noted:
I understand the disappointment, and appreciate the inconvenience my action has caused the general public, as well as the nursing fraternity and the Manhyia Hospital.
This has never been my style but for a genuine reason to mediate in a persistent issue between my daughter, who is a doctor and a colleague nurse, who, I, as well consider as my daughter.
I do apologise for my mishap and assure all, that there will not be a repetition of such.
I look forward to maintaining a cordial relationship with any affected person,” he wrote in the apology.
