there you go...they are getting paid by all means necessary. Just like the crooks in the govt. It is a snowball effect.

And why won't they when the economy has become so unbearable that it is hard to make ends meet? Why won't they take monies when politicians and people in authority in various institutions are taking bribes in any form including sex for job? When one man is paid GHc51 Million for no work done, why won't an aggrieved doctor on strike, take money before performing. Though on strike, he/she must eat. Every animal runs, but as soon as a cow does, they call it 'MAD' cow.

Obadwemba Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah´s dream of building an industrial nation, and to transform Ghana into society based on principles of mutual respect, has now turn to DEATH country. And he said in his exile in Guinea, that Ghana will suffer for far too long, and Ghana will take touch light to look for him, but in most cases he willn´t be found, just what we are encountering now in Ghana. Ghana is DEAD.

I told you so that the poor and the needy will suffer. Some rich people go to the Doctors' houses for treatment and pay them big. So people who think Doctors will suffer when their salaries are suspended should think twice. The government should solve this impasse as a matter of urgency to save the poor.

Foolish article. So how much bribe did the doctor take from the patient? This is a failed attempt to discredit the doctors. Ask your government to do the right thing and stop killing people and wasting our time.

Doctors are performing day-light robberies. People are now seeing that they are more corrupt than the politicians.

befitting of a nation like Ghana? Do not exaggerate the image of Ghana in your head. A country full of cowards that do not know how set its priorities. A nation that supports leadership blindly, even if it is wrong. We will see how we get out of this bribery and corruption. It has its hold on every aspect of the Ghanaian society and instead of standing up against it, the people continue to fall in line with it. The doctors are doing what the so called president did, that is, paying MPs slaries above what they contribute to the country. The importantce of the health professionals cannot be underestimated. Let us BE BOLD!

Dont pay these striking doctors. Get more foreign Doctors and pay them off. The next thing is deprive them of Ghanaian passports. They can go to hell.

I work in the same hospital and I can but no doctor is that cheap and will even take that risk. What we found some of the staffs, orderlies, cleaners brought patient as relatives in need of care to the wards since we are in the wards working. Infact we are doing emergency surgeries even as at now at korle bu for in–patients and dire emergencies and funny enough including cases referred from 37 military hospital whose surgery cannot be done there. So some people are trying to be smart but not my noble brothers and sisters.
Please stop insulting us because it is not our fault . You want me to retire and beg for money. Our pension is pathetic and now also reduced.
