Over 4,000 doctors of the Ghana Medical Association have announced a withdrawal of their services effective today, Thursday July 30.
The group had earlier on threatened to embark on the strike on July 1, but extensive negotiations with government saw the deadline being moved back by a month.
A planned en masse strike by all public sector doctors in the country has been postponed for one month as negotiations continue.
The Ghana Medical Association(GMA) announced that they plan to lay down their tools, all 4,000 of them; on Ghana’s Republic Day, to protest their conditions of service.
However after a meeting with government, the GMA has decided to push the intended action forward to the 29th of July, as they continue to engage the Ministry of Health. They say the extension is a sign of good faith in the negotiations.
