Maamba Hospital Administrator Cosmas Michelo has been demoted from his position following the confusion that rocked the health institution owing to his alleged incompetence and frustrating the entire hospital staff.
Sinazongwe District Commissioner Laiven Apuleni and the District Health Director Dr Kebby Musokotwane confirmed the relegation of Michelo.
Apuleni said Michelo has since been saved with the demotion letter that was written from the provincial office in Livingstone and would revert to the position of the dental therapist.
He noted that Michelo would be reporting to the other dental therapist who is already the head of the department.
Dr Muoskokwatane said Michelo has been replaced with Philip Botha as the acting Hospital Administrator.
Last week an emergent meeting was convened to save the hospital from total collapse and workers alleged that Michelo has taken the operation of the hospital as personal to holder and he fails to consult them when making decisions.
Sinazongwe Health Director Dr Kebby Musokwane who took Michelo to Maamba police for threatening his life said he was not ready to work with him.
Dr Musokwatane told the meeting that Michelo called him on phone after he wrote a warning letter to him for failing to come for work for four days without any proper explanation that he was hurt and disappointed with the letter.

The doctor said at another incident Mr Michelo warned him that he was not
Viva correct action.Mr Michelo public institutions are not personal to holder.
