GMA expresses
concern about their new salaries
Akropong-Akuapem (E/R), March 27, GNA - The Assistant
General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Dr
Sodzi Sodzi-Tettey has said it was not true that medical
officers were well off with the introduction of new salaries
for them.
He said with the introduction of the new salaries for the
Doctors, many allowances that they used to enjoy had been
withdrawn, making them relatively worse off.
Dr Sodzi-Tettey was speaking to journalists at a press
conference the GMA organized after the Second National
Executive Meeting of the GMA at Akropong at the weekend.
The National President of the Association, Dr Francis
Adu-Ababio said the Association had noticed some
inconsistencies in the implementation of the new health
service salary scheme and had used lawful channels to point
out such flaws to the Government.
He said, however, the observation of the association was
that the Government was reluctant to respect clear-cut
provisions outlined in the National Labour Law to resolve
labour disputes.
