Management of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), has appealed to Hospital’s medical laboratory scientists to call off their seven-day sit-down strike.
A statement signed by the CEO encouraged them to avoid any action or inaction likely to breach the industrial peace and hinder the care of patients.
It emphasized that Management is fully committed to cooperating with relevant stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the issues raised by the Hospital’s branch of the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists (GAMLS).
Members of the KATH branch of GAMLS yesterday, commenced a sit-down strike to register their protest against what they described as wrongful postings of two Medical Officers, Lesley Osei and Eunice Agyemang Ahmed, to the Laboratory Services Directorate (LSD) as “Clinical” Haematologists.
The KATH Chapter Chairman of GAMLS, Ernest Badu-Boateng, in an interview, said various protest letters were written to the Hospital’s Management, expressing the Association’s displeasure against the development.
The GAMLS Branch Chairman said the impasse has been lingering on for almost two years without any positive response from the KATH Management and vowed that they would continue to lay down their tools until the right thing is done.
