<\/a>Doctors at the Ophthalmology Unit of the Regional Hospital in Sunyani on Monday defied the indefinite strike action initiated by the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) and attended to patients.<\/p>\nThe GMA at the weekend declared a nationwide indefinite strike action by members over delays by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission to migrate them onto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS).<\/p>\n
When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) visited the hospital, patients with various sight-related ailments were waiting in queues whilst others were receiving treatment from doctors on duty.<\/p>\n
A community health nurse at the facility told the GNA on condition of anonymity that though the doctors were on strike patients admitted before the GMA strike action were receiving treatment.<\/p>\n
The community health nurse indicated that management of the hospital was holding an emergency meeting on the matter.<\/p>\n
The situation was no different at the Sunyani Municipal Hospital where the medical officer in charge and the other doctors were supposed to be in a meeting.<\/p>\n
No patient was however found at the Out Patients Department.<\/p>\n
