HOSPITALS DESERTED AS HEALTH SERVICES WORKERS’ UNION STRIKE Some departments in hospitals nationwide have been deserted following the strike by the Health Services Workers Union. This has left some patients stranded because of the absence of records personnel, cleaners, lab technicians, orderlies, among others. The union is striking in protest of its desire for better conditions of service, which it says have not been fairly addressed. When SilverFM visited the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, patients and relatives who had come for medical care did not have anyone attending to them despite doctors and nurses being at their posts. We’ve learnt the Labour and Employment Ministry met with the aggrieved service workers union to deliberate on the issue. We are going for the outcome so far. INTERVIEW MR. JOSHUA TORGBOR – GENERAL SECRETARY OF PHARMACY TECHNOLOGIES ASSOCIATION (MEMBER OF HEALTH SERVICE WORKERS UNION)
