KATH doctors postpone strike to Feb 4

Members of the Komfo Anokye Doctors Association have deferred their intended strike scheduled for today, Tuesday, 1 February 2022, to Friday, 4 February 2022.

This decision was arrived at after an engagement with the management of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital on Monday, 31 January 2022, on the nonpayment of car maintenance allowance and 13th-month allowance for the doctors.

“The decision was taken after a show of some commitment by Hospital Management and the Ministry of Health to end the long-standing stalemate in the fulfilment of our signed conditions of service in 2019,” the doctors said in a statement.

The doctors expressed the hope that by the end of Thursday, 3 February 2021, there will be a clear and concise payment schedule for their car maintenance allowance and 13th-month allowance or they will lay down their tools.

“We want to assure all and sundry, especially our cherished members, that KADA remains resolute and committed to its mandated cause”.
