Ghana's President John Mahama has ordered doctors in Ghana to
return to work, saying their strike was illegal. He was speaking in a live radio interview with
the state broadcaster. About 2,800 doctors from public hospitals have been on
strike for nearly two weeks. Their demands include free healthcare, free
post-graduate education and increases in allowances from clothing to vehicle
maintenance.
BBC Africa reports Mr
Mahama said the demands of the doctors could not be met.
The Ghana Medical
Association, which represents the striking doctors, says it is convening a
meeting on Friday to review their decision to resign en masse.
The strike is dominating
the front pages of the newspapers.
