Doctors at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have suspended their strike action, just hours after it began, following assurances from hospital management aimed at resolving tensions within the facility’s central laboratory.
The Korle Bu Doctors Association announced the decision after a meeting on Monday morning, saying management had committed to ensuring laboratory physicians return to work.
The association said the move was necessary to restore normal operations and maintain effective healthcare delivery.
In a statement, the group stressed the importance of cooperation between laboratory physicians and medical laboratory scientists, describing peaceful coexistence as essential for quality patient care.
Doctors have been asked to resume out patient services from Tuesday 5 May.
The brief industrial action had raised concerns about potential disruption to services at Ghana’s largest referral hospital. The suspension is expected to ease pressure on patients who rely on the facility for specialist care.
The association indicated it would continue to engage with management as efforts to resolve the underlying issues continue.
