Members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), have left the consulting rooms and operating theatres after negotiations on their conditions of service with government hit a snag.
All 1,700 members of the GMA across the country have also threatened to resign en masse if government fails to clinch a favourable deal with them.
Among other things the GMA is demanding that their members who attain a rank of Principal Medical/Dental Officer and above should retire on their last salary where the doctor has served a minimum of 15 years at public hospitals.
Social media went wild with what was purported to be service conditions proposals from the doctors, posted on Facebook by a Presidential Staffer.
However, the doctors have said certain aspects of the proposal that was leaked by the Presidential Staffer were inaccurate.
