We are not intimidated by death threats; Striking doctors remain defiant

The Ghana Medical Association says some of its members have been receiving death threats as the strike over doctors' conditions of service enters week-three.

In a press statement issued Wednesday, the GMA President noted that some government communicators have gone on air to openly encourage armed robbers to attack homes of these doctors.

The communicators also gave out details and direction to these doctors, the statement said.

The GMA gave no names of doctors facing threats or government communicators it accused. But President of the Association Dr. Kwabena Opoku Adusei is criticising government for "silent support for these threats."

The GMA says nothing will deter it from fighting for a documented set of conditions of work. “No conditions of service, no work”, Deputy General Secretary of the GMA, Dr. Justice Yankson stressed.
