We are not moved by insults - GMA president
Teams from Government and the Ghana Medical
Association met Sunday over proposals for
doctors’ conditions of service.

It is not clear yet the outcome of the meeting.

GMA President, Dr. Poku Edusei in an interview
said it is not true they have abandoned
negotiations.

"We are going to give government opportunity again
and meet Parliament again.

"It is not true that we abandoned negotiation.

"Personal attacks and all those things don't move
us. We are resolved all doctors to make sure that
we have a signed and sealed conditions of service
document and this we stand by them.

"We did not swear an oath of poverty," he said
adding their fight is for posterity and to make
sure sanity prevails in our country.

"We need a signed and sealed condition of service
document and we will go back to work.

His comments come after the negotiations turned
rancorous last week when the GMA accused the
government side of bad faith after their proposal
was leaked to the media.

This week another document purportedly from the
government side emerged with claims that
government has accepted some demands and rejected
others.

There has yet to be any official confirmation.
