The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) says its members working in public health facilities across the country have resolved to resign unless Government backs a request for the establishment of a collective bargain agreement by the end of June.

The Association first issued the ultimatum in November 2014 when they set a June 30 ultimatum to the government to put together conditions of service for its members.

The Doctors met with employment and Labour Relations Minister Haruna Iddrisu on Wednesday April 7, 2014 to reiterate their point.

Deputy General Secretary of GMA Dr. Justice Yankson says the absence of a collective bargaining agreement for the group was a violation of the labour law.

“We have gotten to a point where we say enough is enough", he said.

He said if the government delays beyond the June 30 deadline they would not have any option than to leave the consulting rooms of public health institutions.

 “We will resign and leave the health service to the ministry and its agencies to run the way want to run it because we think this is a big injustice”, he stressed.

He said doctors as a group of professionals in the country cannot continue to work under the current conditions if government as an employer refuses to provide appropriate conditions of service.

The association also expressed concern about why some newly graduated doctors were still not employed at a time when the country needs more doctors.

The doctors say they do not see why the graduate doctors should be at home when the government says there is no net freeze on employment in the health and education sectors.
