Doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) have called off their industrial action and resumed full services following engagements with the Ministry of Health and other key stakeholders.
The strike, which began on April 23, 2025, was in response to an incident during a visit by the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, and longstanding challenges facing the hospital.
In a press release dated April 26, 2025, the Doctors’ Association of Tamale Teaching Hospital (DATTH) said the decision to resume work was made after a meeting facilitated by the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) and interventions by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health and the Overlord of Dagbon, His Majesty Ndan Yaa-Naa Abukari II.
The Minister of Health reportedly expressed regret over the incident and pledged to address the hospital’s logistical challenges. In response, the Ministry donated significant quantities of equipment and medical supplies.
The DATTH, at an emergency meeting, resolved to collaborate with hospital management and stakeholders to improve the working environment and healthcare delivery, while also warning that any future failure to provide necessary logistics could prompt further action.
The association urged the media to report health issues fairly and called on the general public to support their efforts to deliver quality healthcare.
