Junior Doctors strike at TTH enters day two


Dr. Ken Sagoe, CEO TTH

Junior Doctors of the Tamale Teaching Hospital strike action has entered into day two as efforts by authorities to resolve their grievances hits a deadlock.
The junior doctors yesterday embarked on a strike over unpaid fuel allowances for almost three years.
The Doctors say they are not going to rescind their decision until all fuel allowances due them are dully paid.
However, Fiila News has observed that the situation if not addressed immediately is likely to affect health care delivery in the only referral center for residents of the three regions of the North.
In an interview with the President of the Junior Doctors Association of the Tamale Teaching Hospital, Dr. Bentil Wewoli, he said the association is yet to meet the authorities to discuss the matter.
He however indicated that the strike continues unabated pending when the problem would be resolved.
