Mr. Lawrence Lartey, Greater-Accra Regional Director, Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), has made a passionate appeal to doctors in the country to end their strike.
He pointed out that it was the responsibility of the doctor to ensure the physical, social and mental wellbeing of a patient, hence the need for doctors to go back to work to avoid the outbreak of any epidemic in the country.
Mr. Lartey made the appeal during the inauguration of the Chemu Senior High School branch of the Human Rights and Integrity Club by the Tema Sub-Regional Office of CHRAJ.
The core objective of the programme was to educate and instil in the Youths the basic Fundamental Human Rights of a person and the need for people’s rights to be respected.
In his presentation on the Right to Health, Mr Lartey observed that it was the right of a person to enjoy variety of facilities and conditions, for the attainment of good health, as enshrined in Article 25 of the 1992 Constitution.
Mr. Lartey noted that the Millennium Development Goals which include the Reduction of child mortality, Improvement of Maternal Health and the combating of HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases by 2015, could be achieved if the state respected and protected the rights of people.
Mrs. Joyce Boahen, Assistant Legal Officer of the Tema Sub-Regional Office of CHRAJ, said the Commission would collaborate with other stakeholders, including the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Police Service to educate the public on their rights.
She pointed out that Rights went with responsibilities, and therefore, advised the students to lead exemplary lives so that others would looked up to them.
Miss Eva Akyeama, President of the Chemu Human Rights Club, was grateful to the officers of the Tema sub- Regional Office, for the initiative, and charged her colleagues, to partner the leadership of the Club, to help CHRAJ achieve its vision.
