    Yes the government should call the bluff of the GMA.Our local doctors are not professional doctors.According to Yankson they work for money and not to save lives.

  • National Agenda 9 years ago

    The only way forward is to train many more doctors and other health professionals. Lets stop the hypocrisy... So many Ghanaian children are refused admission every year... Lets invest more in human capital.
