Oncology doctors at Ghana's KATH went on strike on 24 June 2024 over a malfunctioning radiotherapy machine.
Oncology doctors at Ghana's Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) went on strike on June 24, 2024, due to a malfunctioning radiotherapy machine. KATH management has dismissed the strike as premature and unnecessary, stating they have made efforts to address the issue, with a Letter of Credit in place for necessary replacement parts. The machine's manufacturer is in the U.S., and the process of obtaining parts is complex and time-consuming. KATH aims to create a conducive working environment for effective healthcare delivery while urging oncology doctors to resume work and continue negotiations.
