Doctors at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital have suspended a strike that disrupted healthcare services for days, following mediation efforts led by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and engagements with hospital authorities and other stakeholders.

The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) said Tuesday that its industrial action would end at 6 p.m., citing what it described as productive discussions and commitments from key parties to address concerns that prompted the walkout.
“The decision has been made following fruitful engagements and the timely intervention of His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Hospital Board, Management and other key stakeholders,” the association said in a statement.

The strike had affected consultations and other medical services at one of Ghana’s largest referral hospitals, leaving many patients without access to care.

KADA said it remains committed to securing a full resolution of the issues behind the dispute but decided to suspend the action in light of its impact on patient care and public health. The association said ongoing discussions would continue while doctors return to work.

The group thanked the Asantehene, the hospital’s board and management, and other stakeholders for facilitating negotiations aimed at resolving the impasse. It also acknowledged support from the Ghana Medical Association and several healthcare unions and professional bodies.

The industrial action was triggered by tensions surrounding the suspension of the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, after he announced the suspension of emergency services at the facility.

While the immediate disruption has ended, negotiations between doctors and hospital authorities are expected to continue as both sides work toward a lasting settlement.
