Dozens of patients were left frustrated and fuming as they arrived at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) on Thursday morning seeking medical attention, only to find empty consulting rooms with no doctors in sight.
Many queued along the corridors of the Out-Patients Department (OPD), wearing dejected expressions, while others looked on helplessly.
This follows a full-blown strike by doctors, who have downed tools citing a hostile working environment, a lack of basic medical supplies, and what they describe as an insult to their dignity by senior government officials.
Joy News' Northern Regional Correspondent, Martina Bugri, reports that health authorities at the hospital were in a crucial meeting at the time of filing this report to find solutions to the crisis.
