Doctors suspend treatment at Tamale Teaching Hospital

Doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital in the Northern region have suspended healthcare services at the Out Patients Department of the facility.

The action was taken Monday after a meeting between doctors and the management of the hospital.

It comes after a protracted impasse between the irate doctors and the management over their unpaid fuel allowances.

Starr News sources say the meeting between the parties to resolve the issue ended inconclusively.

The action has left several patients at the facility stranded.

Management of the Teaching Hospital and its doctors have been involved in media exchanges over the fuel allowances.

Whiles management of the hospital claims the money has been paid into the accounts of the doctors, the physicians insist no payment of a sort has reached them.
