Doctor/health worker strike in Ghana

Username By Joshua | June 8th, 2006 | Comments 2 Comments »

Today, nurses and other health workers joined Ghana’s junior doctors in an indefinite strike protesting the new Health Service salary structure. Public hospitals and clinics are effectively shut down (critical patients are still being cared for). It doesn’t really affect Tay’s work at the PPAG clinic, though patients seem to be staying away. In an unrelated story, many Ghanaian pregnant women were trying NOT to deliver their babies on Tuesday (6/6/06), for fear of bringing the AntiChrist into the world.

I think its sad that the most crucial people in the country has to strike in order to have their voices heard on the lack of help from their government to their important jobs. Health practicioners can leave and go to other countries but they decide to work in Ghana for barely a penny.. barely any help in medicial supplies.. Instead of the government spending money on their own greed.. they should help their own ppl.. especially now when they are dying without any medical attention.!!!!!
