The National Peace Council will tomorrow meet the GMA as part of efforts to get the striking doctors back to work.
The Chairman of the Council and Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslims Mission in Ghana, Dr Maulvi Wahab Adams told Radio Ghana that the council is only playing a facilitating role and has no powers over any of the parties involved.
Members of the GMA have been on strike for the past thirteen days over their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure.
[Update - GBC] There appears to be no end in sight for the resolution of the two-week-old strike of doctors in public hospitals as the man charged to bring amicable settlement to the standoff between government and the striking medical doctors asked them to resign if they are not ready to take what is on the table.
Deputy Health Minister Rojo Mettle-Nunoo told the doctors to resign because government was not prepared to yield to their demands for improved conditions of service.
'The options are clear…the reason for establishing the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission was to establish fair wages. They are free to advise themselves if they think the employer, which is government, is unable to meet their demand; I think they have an option of going into private practice,' Rojo told the striking doctors, who appeared to be ready for the worst.
The doctors had asked for their place on the new pay policy, the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) which some government workers have started enjoying.
But the Deputy Minister asked the striking doctors to advise themselves, and, if possible, resign from government health facilities and go into private practice if they so wanted.
