The National Labour Commission has dragged the Ghana Medical Association to court seeking to compel the striking doctors to go back to work. Public sector doctors have been on strike for about two weeks which begun with their refusal to treat out-patients over the non-payment of salary arrears and distortions in their pensions and market premium on the new pay structure. The doctors have since activated the second phase of their strike by refusing to treat emergency cases even though government has agreed to pay their arrears in installment and the National Labour Commission described their strike as illegal.
