The
National House of Chiefs (NHC) has welcomed the return to work of
doctors in the public hospitals as they continue with negotiations to
resolve the impasse over their conditions of service.
It said
this was refreshing, and praised the leadership of the Ghana Medical
Association (GMA) and the entire membership of the association for the
decision.
The NHC, in a press statement signed by the acting
Registrar, Mr A.K. Essien, also applauded the government for opening the
door to negotiations, to help bring a conclusion to the matter.
“The
action by the GMA and the government shows the commitment of all
parties involved in the impasse to resolve same peacefully and amicably
through dialogue.”
The statement urged the parties to approach
the negotiations in good faith, and invited all stakeholders to support
efforts at finding a lasting settlement.
It said the house found
it heart-warming that the doctors’ decision to call off their strike was
influenced by pleas from the people, including chiefs, religious bodies
and civil society.
This must be seen as victory for every Ghanaian, the chiefs added. |
