Negotiations between government and striking doctors over their\u00a0conditions of service have broken down, leaving the doctors with very little option but to carry out their mass resignation threats.<\/p>\n

The two parties met today [Sunday] in an attempt to agree on the conditions of service proposals presented by the doctors.<\/p>\n

According to sources within the meeting, government did not agree on the proposals the doctors presented while the doctors also rejected what government presented.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary\u00a0of the Ghana Medical Association Dr Justice Yankson told citifmonline.com<\/strong>, “Negotiations have broken down,” without further details.<\/p>\n

A leaked document<\/a><\/strong><\/span> outlining the official demands of members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) shows that the Association wants among other things clothing and fuel allowances and on-call duty allowance.<\/p>\n

Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n

The doctors have already withdrawn emergency services and services to out-patient departments across all public hospitals in the country.<\/p>\n

With the latest development, they are expected to regroup and decide on whether they will indeed resign en bloc from the public sector or back down on their threats.<\/p>\n
