This is a result of a country with laws that have no biting teeth. You cannot do this anywhere where the laws and norms governing the country do work.
Who is the Minister of Health and what is he doing about this situation which will affect the poor Ghanaian who cannot afford to go private ?
NO BRAINS TO RULE YET YOU WONT GIVE INTELLECTUALS THE CHANCE!! RIGGING EVERYWHERE! FOOLS
AFCOM 2013, NIGERIA NOW KING OF AFRICA.
Ghanaians are sore loosers and they are jealous of Nigerians VICTORY at AFCON 2013.
They are so jealous that they refused to report it in their websites.
Jealous will kill you Ghanaians' SORE LOOSERS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Doctors should find other mean of resolving their differences with government. Why would doctors have innocent citizens or people or patients die as a result of their conflict with the government?
Doctors, I support you to do this because if Mahama can give every stupid king 4x4 car then you deserve more than a jet. So, never give up fight for your right.Okay?
You don't get shit free unless your parents are rich in WHITE countrys..so why should doctors get anything more than a kia rio!
Mahama should have done exactly what the Kenyan president did. Should not have signed for MPs to recieve those fat salary increases and that stupid rent allowances. Now if he yields to the Doctors, nurses will follow. Then th ...
