DOCTORS TO STRIKE FOR A YEAR IF GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATIONS FAIL-GMA
The strike action embarked upon by doctors of the Ghana Medical Association continues as the doctors have refused to listen to appeals from the Health ministry resume work.
Assistant General Secretary for Ghana Medical Association, Dr. Frank Serebour hinted that the strike action may extend to a year if the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission continue in the same attitude they have exhibited.
The doctors who sounded frustrated accused the commission of failing to resolve the impasse dispassionately instead of the entrenched position they have taken.
The strike action embarked by the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has entered into the fourth day, with no sign of Doctors returning back to hospitals.
Dr. Frank Serebour claimed the Health Ministry has failed to show commitment to resolve the matter; as they have never been part of any of the negotiation meetings.
He denied rumours that the strike action was based on money.
However, the Deputy Health Minister, Rojo Mettle Nunoo explained that there were two consultant submitted reports which seem to favour the doctors but unfavourable to other medical workers.
He noted that the doctor’s agitation stems from the fact that the commission was rather using another consultant’s report which deals more with the implementation of the job evaluation assessment.
He said they held a meeting with all stakeholders to agree on the negotiations for the doctors.

BLAME GOVERNMENT FOR DEATHS -GHANA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
The Vice President of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Dr Frank Serebour has stated that should any death be recorded out of the strike action, the government must be held responsible.
He called on all well meaning people in the country not to blame doctors but the Fair Wages and Salary Commission as well as government.
According to him, people always accuse doctors for lack of commitment when they demanding better wages forgetting that without better conditions doctors cannot carry out their duties, he stated.
Dr Serebour noted that the medical association had always seen strike as the last option in view of its negative implications in the country but regretted that GMA have no choice than to employ the option in the face of Government’s intransigence.
Doctors announced a nationwide strike beginning Saturday, October 8, 2011. They are in protest over failure by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission in addressing issues relating to their placement onto the Single Spine Salary Structure.
Others are the inability of the FWSC to provide evidence of migration of doctors onto the SSSS and the ambiguous stance of the Single Spine Salary Secretariat on the positions of District Directors of Health Service and Medical Superintendents.
In the light of this, the National Executive Council of the GMA has decided that the roadmap as stated in the press statement issued in Tamale on September 24 should come into effect until agreement with government over their allowances are met.
