The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has served a notice it “has not declared roadmap for an industrial action”.
In the statement dated Tuesday, October 8, 2024, and signed by GMA President Dr Frank Serebour, the association said “all members are expected to continue providing full services without interruptions”.
“The GMA, however, is in solidarity with the Organised Labour in this fight against Galamsey,” the statement noted.
“The National Executive Council (NEC) will give further information when necessary,” the GMA statement concluded.
Organised Labour has insisted on a strike action scheduled for Thursday, October 10, in spite of pleas from President Nana Akufo-Addo. Organised Labour's strike will be the third recently after Democracy Hub and Concerned Citizens Against Galamsey's against rampant illegal mining (galamsey) which has polluted, according to a BBC report, 60 per cent of Ghana's waterbodies, and threatens the very “foundation of cocoa farming” according to the Ghana Cocoa Board.
