Abstract

This paper looks at the records management in organisations with emphasis on Effia Nkwanta Regional, Takoradi. Organisations are not aware that proper management of records contributes to the good of the organisation. Making of profit is all that organisations aim at; they forget that the maximization of profit depends partly on deciding which records to keep and which once to destroy.Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital (ENRH) was established in 1938 as a Military Hospital by the then British West African royal Frontier Force (BWARFF) based in Takoradi. The Distribution and Charts shows the Top Ten (10) Disease of the Out-Patient department from 2018 with malaria recording the highest percentage each year at the hospital. This shows the organisation is able to carry out its duties smoothly by keeping records of top ten diseases each year. Objective of the study was to Maintaining adequate documentary records identify the problems associated with records management in the organisation among others. The finding of the study shows that Management does not organise training programmes for employees and staff on how records are managed.
