Doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have suspended their industrial action following the intervention of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and renewed engagements with hospital management and key stakeholders.

The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) announced that the strike was called off effective 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, after what it described as constructive discussions aimed at resolving the issues that prompted the action.

In a statement signed by KADA Chairman, Dr. (Med) Michael Leat, the association said the decision followed consultations led by the Asantehene involving the hospital’s Board, management, and other stakeholders, who demonstrated commitment to addressing the doctors’ concerns.

While emphasizing that the underlying issues remain unresolved, KADA said it chose to suspend the strike in the interest of patients and public health.

“The safety and well-being of patients and the broader public interest remain central to our responsibilities, and these have informed our decision to suspend the action and continue the dialogue,” the statement said.

The association noted that it remains committed to ensuring a lasting resolution of the concerns that triggered the industrial action but believes continued engagement offers the best path forward.

KADA expressed appreciation to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for his leadership and mediation efforts, describing his intervention as instrumental in creating an environment for dialogue and consensus-building.

The association also thanked the KATH Board, hospital management, and other stakeholders for their roles in facilitating discussions toward an amicable settlement.

In addition, KADA acknowledged the support it received from the National Executive Council and members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), and other professional bodies during the period of industrial action.

“To all doctors and other health workers, we are grateful for your support,” the statement added.
