About 7 physician assistants who were picketing about their impending postings were detained by the police.
The unemployed 7 physician assistants were brought before the Accra Regional Police Command for violating a prior agreement regarding their picketing strategy.
According to reports, the physician assistants broke a deal they had made with the police to gather outside the Accra Sports Stadium rather than picket the Ministry of Health.
A police officer came and questioned Stephen Conduah, a member of the health professionals, adding that the police command asked to see them at the Police station. Stephen Conduah told Accra-based Citi FM that they were waiting to have some sort of negotiations with leaders of the Ministry.
The Ministry of Health’s procedures to ensure that they are posted to medical facilities all across the nation have allegedly been delayed, according to the group.
They are therefore requesting immediate employment from the government.
Meanwhile, a latest development to this news indicates that the 7 physician assistants who were picked up by the police for picketing at the health ministry have been granted bail.
