All this started because the politicians in Ghana want to become the only and new middle class and allocate privileges to themselves that no one else can have. Well it has backfired and they need to deal with it and fast!

Can you compare the conditions of service in Germany to what we have in the country? You loved it in Germany, did you not? It is because the politicians are not as corrupt, a lot of money is invested in health care, education, security, research etc. If the government can't pay the salary of doctors for almost a year, they would chase that gov. out of town. We should be in the streets demonstrating in support of these doctors. Too much money have slipped between the gaps. The gov should wake up and find ways to stop corruption. Health care is important but it does not come cheap.

Sorry, I disagree with your comment. You don't make outrageous demands because your job is for saving lives. You can make a case for your education and training but I'll still disagree with you. And if for once doctors in Ghana can stop comparing their compensation to others abroad like the USA, cos the last time I checked very few if not a couple of Ghanaian doctors are able to pass the board certification exams when they come to the US to practice. I personally know one, he works at the post office now in the US. Oh wait, WHY NOT THE DOCTORS BE PAID FROM THE REVENUES THEY GENERATE AT THE LOCAL HOSPITALS THEY WORK AT. OR EVEN BETTER PUT THEM ON HOURLY PAY SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR BUTT AT THE LOCAL HOSPITALS INSTEAD OF THEIR PRIVATE CLINICS. WELL, NO HARD FEELINGS HERE, BUT ANY LIFE LOST IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY OF PAST/PRESENT GOVERNMENT AND THE DOCTORS. I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD PUT BLAME ON THIS GOVERNMENT. ABOVE ALL I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS DOING A GOOD JOB FOR STANDING HIS GROUNDS. KUDOS JDM!

Senior doctor or Junior doctor you simply wrong! The little minded doctors know that they and their families will equally be subjected to their irresponsible actions and of course the consequences. You argument is a non-starter. The doctors are on strike and the vulnerable and sick are dying everyday since they have been on strike. these are preventable deaths which would not have happened if the doctors were not on strike. Lack of medical care has caused the deaths. So you see your argument is about your envy or the jealousy of your politicians. Nobody, no one is stopping a doctor to be a politicians. In fact, there are doctor and other medical personnel who are now parliamentarians so any doctor can opt for that path of career if they wish to. But what they cannot choose is to be employed as doctors in our public health sectors and then start to demand unreasonable and senseless financial conditions. May be they can go to Parliament as politicians and then demand their ''EX-GRATIAS'' Senior Doctor, nothing has backfired to the government or to the people of Ghana. Your men should either return to work or resign, period! 'NO if or but'

Well, we all know as a result of the strike, everyone is going to a private clinic. Those clinics would require doctors so not paying these doctors is not going to deter anybody but rather increase their resolve.

The president should say and do the same when other workers salaries are not paid. Some have worked for more than a year and they are yet to receive a pesewa.
No selective justice also is important.

I agree with you. So many workers haven't been paid for months & he's making a big deal about not paying the doctors. If you won't pay doctors for not working, fair enough, but what about govt employees who've been working.

The doctors complained that your reaction to their demands was too spiteful. I tend to agree with them. As a president and a PR guru of no mean standing, your Excellency know very well that an advantage if pushed too much just to rub it in becomes an overkill. You need to mask your emotions at all times. All Ghanaians including doctors know you to be the Kuffour type, slow to speak, slow to anger, and it is better to remain that way. Just keep a tap on your emotions, a gentle spirit calms all turbulent waters. Next time when stressing a point, don't let those complaining feel insulted. You may be right, but the way you say it may be too much to swallow. This is advice from an admirer.

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff. He thinks he's smarter being a big shot lawyer from New York and has a better education than an sheriff from West Virginia. The sheriff asks for license and registration. The lawyer asks, "What for?" The sheriff responds, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign." The lawyer says, "I slowed down and no one was coming." "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration please," say the sheriff impatiently. The lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration and you can give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket." The sheriff says, "That sounds fair, please exit your vehicle." The lawyer steps out and the sheriff takes out his nightstick and starts beating the lawyer with it. The sheriff says, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

DEAR H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA & HON. MINISTER OF HEALTH SEGBEFIA,

TO RESPECTFULLY AND HUMBLY REFER TO THE ABOVE PUBLICATION ON "GHANAWEB.COM" AND TO RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT MY COMMENT ON THE MATTER AND TO SAY FRANKLY THAT I AM PERSONALLY DISAPPOINTED BY H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA COMMENTS ABOUT MEDICAL DOCTORS.
THAT IT IS A TRITE KNOWLEDGE THAT ISSUES CONCERNING PROFESSIONALS TO BE CLEARLY SEEN TO BE DEVOID FROM POLITICS SINCE IT IS A FACTUAL TRUTH THAT TO BECOME A MEDICAL DOCTOR IS NOT AN EASY TASKS LIKE ANY OTHER PROFESSIONALS AND ISSUES CONCERNING AND TOUCHING THEM TO BE DEALT WITH CIRCUMSPECTION OF TACTS AND DIPLOMACY, THERETO.
IN FACT, THE FACT OF THE MATTER TO PUT IT SIMPLE IS THAT WHILE "ANY PERSON CAN BECOME POLITICIAN THAT THE SAME FACT CANNOT HOLD OF THE CASE OF MEDICAL DOCTORS AND ANY OTHER PROFESSIONALS" AND THAT SINGLE FACT SHOULD BE A POINT OF CONSIDERATION OF THEIR CASE,THERETO.
THAT H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA EQUALLY KNOWS THIS FACT AND IT BEHOOVES ON HIS EXCELLENCY TO HELP CREATE "ENABLING ENVIRONMENT TO HELP INSPIRE OTHERS ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO STUDY HARD TO BECOME MEDICAL DOCTORS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS THAT WILL HELP IN GHANA HUMAN RESOURCES QUALITY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS".
THAT THE NOTION THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL STRUCTURES ALONE WITHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY HUMAN RESOURCES THOUGH PHYSICALLY DEVELOPED BUT HUMAN RESOURCES QUALITY DEVELOPMENT SHORT FALL WILL ALSO DRAW GHANA BACK.
THAT IT IS VERY TRUE THAT THOSE WHO TELL THE PRESIDENT "THE HARD TRUTH" ARE RATHER H.E. BEST LOVERS AND THOSE WHO NEED HIS SUCCESS IN OFFICE AS PRESIDENT OF GHANA."
HOWEVER< THOSE SYCOPHANTS WHO WILL NOT TELL THE PRESIDENT THE TRUTH JUST BECAUSE OF "THE BREAD THEY RECEIVED FROM THE PRESIDENT WILL BE THE SAME PEOPLE IF THE PRESIDENT IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE WILL BE THE SAME ALSO TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE PRESIDENT JUST BECAUSE 'THE STROKE OF HIS PEN CAN NO LONGER APPOINT".
THAT THE SAME IS BEING DONE TO HIS EXCELLENCIES FORMER PRESIDENTS OF GHANA AND I AM RESPECTFULLY SAYING SAME THAT THE SAME PATTERN MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.
IT IS AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY CALLING ON HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT MAHAMA AND ALSO SINCERELY APPEALING TO H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA TO REVISIT THE MEDICAL DOCTORS ISSUE AND TO APPEAL TO THE MEDICAL DOCTORS TO RETURN TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE AND TO CONSIDER IN THE BEST NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL AND HUMANITY BEST INTERESTS TO CALL OFF THE STRIKE ACTIONS AND TO RETURN TO WORK.
THAT THERE IS A WISDOM SAYING THAT "A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE".
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

They enjoy whatever it is they were getting for work/services provided and if they do not provide such services should they not pay out of pocket for all the benefits for the period they sit on the sidelines?

Back to you all you closet supporters and GMA members; let's see how you wiggle your way out of this one

The GPs in the UK are very well paid and their practises are reasonably well-resourced. They are certainly a lot better paid than GH doctors, however, you cannot compare UK doctors earnings to docs in 3rd rate GH

I don't think President John Dramani Mahama even knows and understands what he is talking about.
After saying during your second term dumsor, dumsor would be a thing of the past, has it happened?
And you still collect your salary and it hasn't be withdrawn and you are talking of laws and the jungle?
Did you follow the law when at Cabinet your gov't decided to write letters to DIC's to bring $35million dollars each to defray a senseless and illegal judgment debt occasioned by the illegal termination of the Bankswitch contract, incurring the state Ghc 197 million cedis? And was the law followed in awarding the contract subsequently to the unproven, inexperienced West Blue Consulting?
When we are to take about the law and jungle, Ghanaians are saying we are there already, we have been in the jungle and staying there already and we will be there until the lawless, irresponsible, incompetent, inept, thieving John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't leadership of failure and the worst governance ever, in the history of this country is massively fired at the ballot box in 2016.
We are in the jungle already. We have been in the jungle for the past 7 years of the John Dramani Mahama NDC gov't and it changes in 2016 at the ballot box. Ghanaians are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The salary of President John Dramani Mahama and his gov't who failed to act to prevent this current situation from the time it was brought to their attention about nne months ago till now, should be refunded and moving forward, withdrawn until the current situation is fixed in this country.
We will not leave and tolerate a situation in this country where, some are of the opinion they deserve their salaries and benefits and sleep on the job and allow things to get out of hand and start talking about laws and the jungle.
Everybody will drink from that same trough of sanity in this country.

ENOUGH OF THESE UNPROFESSIONALL NON-PERFRMING ARROGANT, SELF-IMPOSTING, INTERLECTUALLY LAZY, CORRUPT, DISRECPECTFUL AND BUNCH OF KILLERS/MURDERERS. LIKE ALL CITIZENS OF GHANA, NOBODY OWNS THEM A LIVING. THEY ARE PAID WHAT IS A GENERAL SALARY FOR ALL DOCTORS IN THE COUNTRY AND IN FACT, THEY HAVE BETTER CONDITIONS OF SEFVICES THAN THE AVERAGE WORKER. WHAT ABOUT THEIR TEACHERS, LECTURERS AND TRAINERS WHO MADE THAM WHAT THEY ARE TODAY. IS THAT THE WAY AND MANNER THEY PAY BACK TO THE SOCIETY WHICH HELPED AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM? THE GOVERNMENT CAN NOT PAY PEPOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT. YOU MEAN WE SHOULD THROW MONEY INTO THE DRAIN? ONLY PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE SERVICES OR ANY FORM OF PRODUCTION OR PERFORMANCE FOR THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD RECEIVE SALARIES ACCORDINGLY. THERE IS NO EASY PICKING IN THE SYSTEM AND THE MURDERERS MUST KNOW IT. WE'VE NOW HAD IT UP TO OUR NECK! ENOUGH IS THE DOCTORS NONSENSE.

Leave the public sector and start your private company if you don't like the pay structure or even leave the country and taste the harsh life outside. Many of these doctors would need to be trained elsewhere to be employable, and many of them would never get a job in another country. Enough of the egoism.

Paying them salary when they are not working amounts to causing financial lost to the state. The state can not afford to be so benevolent and so lenient.
