The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has finally decided to suspend its 19 day strike with immediate effect.
A statement released Wednesday by the President of The Association, Dr. Adom Winful, said the National Executive Council of the Ghana Medical Association decided to call off the nationwide withdrawal of services embarked on by its members following an emergency meeting based on three major reasons;
1. The numerous appeals by well meaning Ghanaians and civil society groups both in and out of the country
2. Taking due cognizance of the compulsory arbitration and rules governing the process.
3. The current flood situation in Accra with its attendant humanitarian crisis.
The GMA said considering the many appeals, it was not worth continuing with the strike action and urged all doctors to return to duty as leaders continue negotiations with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.
Whilst returning to work, the GMA was hopeful their grievances would be met.
