  • Africanus 8 years ago

    In dealing with this matter, the government started off on the wrong foot, by seeking to use intimidation, attacks and insults to turn Ghanaians against the doctors.

    It is also a terrible mistake for Mahama to publicly st ...

    Does it make sense to say Ghanaian doctors were trained with taxpayers money so we can pay them less than Cubans? Backward thinking...... And if they are trained abroad how much do you pay them.

  • Futurama 8 years ago

    I dare the government to disclose the pay package of the Cuban doctors it intends to bring into the country. This will enable the whole country to determine whether the demand of the striking doctors are reasonable or not.

  • Kwame Mensah 8 years ago

    The Cubans could be paid higher than Ghanaians because Ghana has no hand in their education and they are brought here as expats. Ghanaians who are expats in other countries may be paid higher than the locals. How much do we p ...

    The Cuban Doctors are not Ghanaian. They were not educated in Ghana under the free education system, hence do not compare their salaries to that of Ghanaian Doctors working in Ghana, their own country which educated them.

  • Africanus 8 years ago

    What is going on is pure politics, I do not think Kofi Annan would want to gamble his reputation on the uneducated bunch of NDC/NPP politicians, who clearly do not seem to know what their doing.

  • Kwesi 8 years ago

    I don't know who is on Ghanaweb and insulting doctors all the time, it must be NDC government operatives at work, making Ghanaians look so bad and uncultured. It is a sad situation that people can be so mean

  • Africanus 8 years ago

    I will be sad if the doctors go back without getting at least half of what they asked for. I know NDC is counting on using insults to intimidate them into returning to work. But I think the doctors should be resolute.

    If they are paid same way as the cubans, they will go to the villages, it is only in Ghana that foreigners are more important than the nationals.
    Soon we will have a foreigner as our president since the locals are not wanted

    Withdrawing Emergency Services is a serious crime and any doctor whose hospital record any emergency fatality must be prosecuted and jailed for abandoning post unlawfully.

    I personally feel there is something actually wrong with government. If you can afford all these for foreign nationals and refuse to do something about those in your country then is rather unfortunate
