Medical doctors in Bawku, located in the Upper East Region, are fleeing the area following intensified violence in recent days that has resulted in multiple fatalities.
The medical practitioners, who are experiencing extreme emotional stress and fear, are rejecting transfers to the area, which has long been plagued by a protracted chieftaincy dispute.
Some doctors have even chosen to remain unemployed rather than risk their lives in the conflict-ridden zone, which continues to report deaths.
On Monday, three people were killed in renewed violence.
