The doctors say their July 30 strike is to compel government to provide them with a document on their conditions of service.
The strike is already having biting effects across the country. GMA’s action forced the management of the Korle Bu teaching hospital and other Government health facilities across the country to suspend services at their Outpatient Departments.
General Secretary of the GMA, Dr. Frank Serebour explained to Citi News that they are not prepared to back down unless their concerns are addressed.
“The executive committee or the council cannot rescind this decision because it was taken by the general assembly. So what we can do is to call for another extraordinary general assembly meeting and ask members to look at our decision and see whether there is any room to maneuver.”
He insisted that “our hierarchy is clear, once the general assembly takes up a decision, nobody can review it, they can only review it themselves.”
“As at now, we have not really met, but I don’t think that we are going to rescind our decision now. We have told ourselves that it is now or never because if doctors do not get conditions of service now, I don’t think we will ever get conditions of service,” he added.
