Doctors are important despite strike – Mahama
Days after publicly stating that the doctors’ strike “does not make sense,” and that he will not authorise any payment outside the budget to satisfy the demands of the striking public sector workers, President Mahama has also said the doctors are “important human resource.”
Scores of people are reported to have died as a result of the doctors’ strike and the seeming break down of negotiations between government and the doctors.The doctors say as essential service providers, they are entitled to conditions of service but government has denied them for about 23 years now.
The President’s earlier comments according to some of the doctors, smacks of disrespect to their profession.
In a tweet however, the President categorically underscored the importance of the doctors to the economy.
He has also called on Ghanaians to be measured in their comments on the current strike.
