Korle-Bu doctors to embark on strike over unpaid arrears

Members of the Korle Bu Doctors Association (KOSA) have threatened to commence from February 6 to 10.

The intended strike is due to management’s failure to come up with clear timelines for payment of 13th-month salary arrears.

The Association is threatening to withdraw its services to the outpatient department and elective surgeries over unpaid arrears.

“Beginning 30th of January to 5th February, 2023, KODA expects management to come out with clear timelines for the payment of the arrears and to make this payment a centralized one instead of departmental after all, every payment goes into a central pool,” they explained.

“If nothing is received, KODA members would withdraw service to Out-patient department as well as elective surgeries and procedures. This will commence on 6th February to 10th February 2023,” the KOBA said in a statement issued on January 30.

If management fails to meet their expectations, the Association threatens to withdraw emergency and other services.
