The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has criticized the Medical Laboratory Scientists who are still on strike despite a court ruling.
The strike action which started from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) on May 20, is in protest against the decision of the Management to post two doctors to work in the Unit of the Laboratory Scientists.
Subsequently, the National Labour Commission (NLC) secured an interlocutory injunction compelling them to call off the strike nationwide.
However, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists, Dennis Adu Gyasi said the strike is still on because the injunction was only against the KATH chapter.

As part of activities to commemorate this year’s World No Tobacco Day today, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has urged tobacco users to seek counselling by patronising available cessation service centres nationwide to help them quit the habit.
The Chief Executive Officer of the FDA, Mrs Delese Mimi Darko, said the authority had taken a keen interest in helping tobacco users by referring them to such centres.
The centres include the Addictive Disease centres at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital, the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital and the Valley View Clinic, all in Greater Accra; the Adom Clinic and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi and the Sunyani and the Ho Regional hospitals.
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) as part of this year’s World No-Tobacco Day-2021 (WNTD) celebration, is intensifying its anti-tobacco smoking public education campaign in schools, marketplaces and transport terminals.
The education aims to sensitize the public on the need to quit smoking and the associated health benefits of not smoking.
The year-long campaign, under the theme, ‘Commit to quit’, according to the FDA, would advocate for strong tobacco cessation policies, promote increased access to cessation services, raise awareness of tobacco industry tactics and empower tobacco users to make successful attempts to quit smoking through ‘quit and win initiatives’.
