Minority on Health Committee appeals to TTH doctors to return to work

The Minority Caucus on Health has expressed concern over the suspension of emergency and outpatient services at Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH). The strike action, which began on Thursday, April 24, 2025, is in protest of what the doctors describe as a hostile working environment, lack of basic medical supplies, and mistreatment by senior government officials. Patients who visited the hospital for care were left frustrated, as the consulting rooms were empty with no doctors present. Two days into the strike, the Caucus appealed to the health workers to urgently reconsider their decision, citing serious concerns over the impact on public health. “We do not underestimate the gravity of such a resolution, and we fully recognize that it stems from a deep sense of frustration, indignity, and structural neglect that must not be ignored,” parts of a statement read.
