GOVERNMENT CALLS ON RETIRE MEDICAL DOCTORS TO HELP SAVE LIVES

Government is calling on retired medical doctors to take up temporary appointments at the various referral hospitals to help save lives.
Deputy Health Minister Rojo Mettle-Nunoo says the arrangement is one of the interventions government is making to ensure at least emergency cases are attended to as negotiations with the striking doctors continue.
He says all retired doctors who wish to take up the temporary job offer should contact the chief executives of the various hospitals for the necessary arrangements.

Meanwhile, the former Head of the Korle-Bu Cardiothoracic Center, Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, who was recently forced into resignation from government service, says he is ready to serve the nation if government calls upon him.
Prof. Frimpong Boateng says he is not in favour of strike actions.

Meanwhile the Council of State will meet Executives of Ghana Medical Association to address the issues that led to the strike.
