The Government and Hospital Pharmacists Association (GHOSPA) in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSGH) wishes to register its dissatisfaction with the pace and distortions in the process of migrating Pharmacists unto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC).
Specifically, the GHOSPA has observed in recent times that:
There has been a serious misrepresentation of submissions that GHOSPA has made before the FWSC. The effects of this misrepresentation could impact negatively on the salaries of Pharmacists. Also, there is the possibility of implementing the SSSS in phases within the health sector which GHOSPA is vehemently opposed.
GHOSPA wishes to caution that these developments run the risk of posing a grave consequence on pharmaceutical care delivery in Ghana.
Pharmacists wish to re-iterate their commitment to the process although it is painfully slow and fraught with unacceptable flaws. For this reason, Pharmacists are growing impatient and apprehensive.
GHOSPA has intimated the possibility of a nationwide strike and has communicated same to the National Labour Commission (NLC).
We call on Pharmacists to remain calm and continue rendering service to the patients.
GHOSPA calls on the FWSC to as a matter of urgency and without any further delay:
Restore the proper grades and the reasonable premiums as agreed on as soon as possible.
Immediately migrate Pharmacists and all other health workers unto the SSSS.
Desist from any attempt to implement the migration in the health sector in phases among professional groups.
