The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has called on the Medical and Dental Council to review the two-year housemanship training with the view to addressing its attendant problems and challenges.
In a communiqué issued in Kumasi at the weekend at the end of its fourth National Executive Council meeting, the GMA called for attention in the areas of professional placements, salaries, feeding, accommodation, transport and the training programme itself.
The communiqué, signed by Dr Francis Adu-Ababio, GMA President, and Dr Kwabena Opoku-Adusei, General-Secretary, said the Association was not objecting to the two-year training programme but the training structure and how best to run it.
The members resolved to use the Association's jubilee anniversary in 2008 to celebrate their contributions and achievement in health care delivery over the years.
The communiqué said the anniversary would also be used to strategically reposition the Association to confront the future challenges of the health sector.
It said the Association would continue to use dialogue, consensus building and other legitimate means to address issues pertaining to salaries and conditions of service of members and other health workers, which still remained outstanding, resulting in uneasy calm among them.
