This was announced by GMA President Dr. Frank Serebour during an interview with Accra-based Pure FM. “I am hopeful that at the end of the day, we will begin our operations fully. We will be meeting with organized labor and after that, we will communicate to you,” Dr. Serebour stated. The GMA joined Organized Labour’s nationwide strike in protest against the government’s decision to sell SSNIT-owned hotels to Rock City Hotel, owned by the country’s Agriculture Minister. While the sale decision has since been rescinded, with Rock City withdrawing from the deal, Organized Labour’s strike continues. Organized Labour is demanding the dissolution of the SSNIT and NPRA boards, the dismissal of the management of SSNIT and NPRA, and the termination of the Employment and Agriculture Ministers, who were involved in the sale decision. The outcome of the GMA’s meeting with Organized Labour is expected to determine whether the medical association will resume its services. In the meantime, the nationwide strike continues to impact various sectors across the country.
