A member of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Dr.
Ezekiel Agyekum Obeng has kicked against the Association's intention to join Organized Labour's strike over Galamsey concerns.The long-standing GMA member in an interview with Pure FM's Evans Osei-Bonsu, questioned the principle behind the Association's stance to strike when they have sworn an oath to protect and preserve lives.He expressed that GMA's intention to abandon hospital facilities will contribute to more deaths of patients even before Galamsey does, defeating the very principle they seek to stand for."This decision is nothing short of plain callousness.Fighting Galamsey must be apolitical.
We all should champion a path of dialogue rather than this chaotic style of approach.GMA has over the years advocated for policies through discourse.
These policies have in the end served the nation positively, so what has changed?""The Galamsey fight is a whole nation fight and it cannot be fought in a day or week.We need lasting solutions and these can be worked out nicely without grinding our health system to a halt.Graciously, all the manifestos of the leading political parties have captured this problem and have proffered a way to solve it.
