The National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed members of the Komfo Anokye Doctors Association (KADA) to suspend their indefinite strike, according to a statement over the weekend.
According to the NLC, the strike by the KATH doctors was not compliant with relevant provisions contained in the Labour Act.
The Commission has subsequently summoned the KADA to a meeting on June 10 for a hearing of issues in dispute.
“The National Labour Commission has read in the media a declaration of an indefinite strike by the Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association effective June 6, 2026. KADA is advised that the notice was improperly served because it was not compliant with the relevant provisions of the Labour Law,” read the statement.
It added, “Consequently, the Commission, in exercise of its powers under section 139(d) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), directs KADA to call off the strike immediately, as the action contravenes sections 162 and 163 of Act 651.”
Doctors at the KATH commenced an indefinite strike on Saturday following the suspension of the chief executive officer of the facility by health minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh. Enditem
