Doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) have called off their strike action after a high-powered delegation from the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abukari Mahama II, intervened in the ongoing matter.
The doctors suspended emergency services after they accused Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh of disrespecting doctors at the facility.
The delegation, led by Zangbalun Lana Dr Jacob Mahama, engaged members of the Doctors’ Association of Tamale Teaching Hospital (DATTH).
The traditional ruler in a heartfelt message appealed to the doctors to return to their posts and continue saving lives.
Addressing the doctors, the Zangbalun Lana stated: “We implore you to consider the lives that hang in the balance. The cessation of emergency services has far-reaching consequences, and we fear for the well-being of those who cannot afford to wait.”
A statement shared on TTH’s official Facebook page confirmed:“The intervention of the King successfully got the doctors to resume emergency services.”
The doctors have however maintained that they want an apology from Health Minister, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, before they fully resume work to offer health services at the Outpatients Department.
