Dr. Bokor, if the government should find a way to nip doctor's strike in the bud, they will have nothing else to do. Because they will go on strike next year and the following year and the following year. We may have to establish an agency in government whose sole business is to nip doctors strike in the bud. All they need to go on strike is somebody else getting some benefit and they want some or they will go on strike. They have to be the most privilege class or they will go on strike and if NPP is seeking power, they will go on strike to make the NDC government unpopular.
Nobody can do anything about doctor's strike in Ghana except to give them all the cocoa money and half of the GDP.

Massa,"else where" you say?bullshit!!!The else wheres u are talking about don't treat doctors the way government treats doctors here.If "privatization" of medical education is d ideal solution then i guess all university courses should be privatized too to make things fair and then no labour organization should go on strike.People like u are responsible for the current nature of the country. Foolish reasoning and comparisons.

What the writer is talking about is the strict entry qualifications in Ghana. The same people who are reject here train outside and become doctors. So if the way is opened for any body who has the desire and has a minimum qualification aside of what is being demanded now, a lot of people can be trained as doctors.

it would be a good idea to privatize mostly the hospitals and keep the regional hospitals for special referring , but it need a lot of mechanism-eg how much should a patient pay for consultations must be made public, mostly all the prices of the medicines must be made public, charges of lab test must be made public.
The cost of treatments of mostly all the type of diseases must be well documented that nobody can take the regimes advantages to make extreme charges. swiss had abled to do this and had copied all the health insurances - that this supose to be the charge when you treat malaria, fever or etc)
2.The government should train more people and stop the traditional way of employing them. they should apply for specializations and vacancies .
3. we must move into the era of private house professional medications.
After the government abled to set the affordable price tag medications then you equip the regional hospitals with special specifications and advertise on global specialists to handle referring cases.
government of Ghana must pay for roadmap consultations.
4.private hospitals are not allowed by law to practise general consultations. so before a certificate is issued the person must serve 3yrs at the specialized hospital before allowing to go private. Ghana is a country and must have laws that any person who want to work in the country must be readied to obey the rules, or you leave for greener or yellow pasture

Yes,he did read about 'public good' but he's not interested in that aspect. I'm surprised that he apportioned little blame on the government machinery while reserving the bulk of his trenchant critiques towards the medical profession. The concerns of the doctors raise fundamental issues about government ministries - competence, priority and treatment of public sector workers. By the way, while criticising the government, it ought to be mentioned that the some of the demands of the doctors are unreasonable in a modern society.

Dr Bokor, let me enlighten you a bit. Medical students pay the highest fees in the university. A Ghanaian fee paying medical student pays over 9000ghc per academic year. Multiply that by 7years. Accommodation, books, medical tools will add up. Do you know how doctors are paid in the private sector? They also have condition of service. Why should a doctor spend his money on rent, utilities, hospital bills etc when other essential service providers dont? Ask around the world and you will realise no doctor works without condition of service.

I totally agree with you. There is so much laxity in the health sector with doctors seeing themselves as thin gods and above every one else. They do not feel that they are employees. They feel they are governors. But no employer is prepared to pay an employee to make him rich overnight.
While on strike, government should not pay the striking doctors. Doing so will amount to causing financial loss to the state.
Government should accept the mass doctors resignation and quickly advertise for doctors. Employ all those who will apply under the given conditions of service. Don't re-engaged their leaders in this regard and annul their licenses.
Amen.
