The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) is demanding that all laboratory physicians who have been forced out of their places of work within various Hospital laboratories be restored with immediate effect.
It is also calling for all resident medical doctors in training with health institutions like the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, pursuing programmes in laboratory medicine to be granted unfettered access to relevant laboratory spaces in the teaching Hospitals.
