A workman is worthy of his wages..

Dear Finance Minister.....Pay Our Medical Doctors Now!!

When one doctor slips, the outrage is instant and nationwide. When 120+ doctors work 6 to 12 months unpaid, there’s deafening silence. Both put lives at risk. But only one is treated as a scandal. Our double standards speak volumes. #PayMedicalOfficersNow

Anyway my Medical Officers also haven’t been paid so if you can send something for Sustenance too we’ll take it Ministry of Health, Ghana Kwabena Mintah Akandoh #PayMedicalOfficersNow

In other news, #PayMedicalOfficersNow

In case you did not know, medical officers have been unpaid from periods ranging 6 to 12 months. Yet more than 120 of them accross the country still show up to work without a single cedi paid since they took up post. #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow

In medicine, making a patient fast is called nil per os (NPO) - this means "nothing by mouth" When a patient is kept NPO, it's for their safety before a surgery. When 120+ doctors are kept NPO from salaries, it's pure neglect. #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow

Ministry of Health, Ghana Honorable minister sir, are you aware that over 120 medical officers can't give same smile as you because the government has refused to deepen the bilateral relations between our salaries and our accounts? #paymedicalofficersnow

Perhaps the government thinks that doctors undergo photosynthesis. Its probably the only way they can explain 6- 12 months of unpaid salaries for more than 120+ medical officers Kind reminder to Kwabena Mintah Akandoh Salaries are not privileges. They are rights. #PayMedicalOfficersNow

A stable Mental health is one of the qualities needed for someone to be employed. A doctor working for 8 months without being paid can cause them a huge destabilization to their mental health. We need to save lives on efficiency mode not survival mode. #PayMedicalOfficersNow

This is the simple message and very clear Salaries are RIGHTS not PRIVILEGES #PayMedicalOfficersNow

#PayMedicalOfficersNow

Those of you that want your children to be doctors too, don’t let this be the precedence set. Advocate for what is right. #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow

We wonder why brain drain is rampant in this country yet we are comfortable with doctors not being paid for 6-12 months. Don’t be part of the problem by staying silent. #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow

Unfortunately ,inspiration doesn't pay bills. 120+ doctors have been 'walking with purpose' for 8-12 months without salaries. At this point, resilience isn't a choice, it's survival. Here are some of their stories #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow

This is just sad! If you've worked in a hospital before and know how it can be so charged and stressful, these added stresses are UNACCEPTABLE. Patients are not getting the best of care if this the state the system has forced our doctors into. #PayMedicalOfficersNow

Imagine being stressed from work and still be stressed from not receiving your salary for 6-12months, No worker deserves to go through this. We are humans not robots #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow #PayMedicalOfficersNow
