Doctors at the Oncology Department of the Komfo Anokye Teaching (KATH) Hospital have called off their strike.
On Monday, June 24, the health workers abandoned consultation rooms, citing delays in the repair of the Linear Accelerator System used for radiotherapy services, which broke down in October 2023.
Although the machine had been repaired, management explained that it remained non-operational as they awaited the arrival of a water phantom needed to calibrate the system.
The delay in getting the equipment, essential for treating various cancers, up and running left doctors at the Oncology department very frustrated.
They therefore protested by going on strike which led to the turning away of patients who went to the department seeking healthcare.
But they have resumed work today Wednesday, June 26 after they were given assurances of their concerns being addressed.
