Allied Health professionals threaten to withdraw OPD services on August 2

Over 1,500 allied health professionals at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital have threatened to withdraw OPD services on Friday August 2.

The allied health professionals are demanding that the Management of Korle-Bu appoints a director for their department instead of a medical doctor.
For more than ten years now, the allied health professionals at Korle-Bu has been demanding a director to head their unit.

But their concerns were not adhered to by the Management of the hospital.
The health professionals again engaged the Management and the Board to ensure the appointment of a director to head their unit and that also failed.

This has angered them, thus they have decided to withdraw their services entirely from Monday, August 5.
Local President of the Ghana Federation of Allied Health Professionals, Dr. Francis Kwakye Antwi asked the Management to act fast or risk disturbances on the health front.
