The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) has suspended its industrial action effective 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, after what it described as productive discussions with key stakeholders.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the association said the decision followed the timely intervention of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as well as engagements involving the hospital’s Board, management, and other stakeholders who have shown commitment to addressing the concerns that led to the strike.

According to KADA, the suspension was reached after stakeholders demonstrated willingness to work towards resolving the issues that triggered the industrial action.

Despite suspending the strike, the association stressed that it remains committed to ensuring a complete resolution of the concerns raised by its members. It noted that the impact of the prolonged action on patient care and public health played a significant role in its decision.

“KADA remains dedicated to securing a full resolution of the issues at the heart of the dispute. However, mindful of the effect of the industrial action on patients and healthcare delivery, the association has decided to suspend the strike while discussions continue,” the statement indicated.

The association said the welfare and safety of patients, as well as the broader public interest, were key considerations in reaching the decision.

KADA expressed appreciation to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Board of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), hospital management, and other stakeholders for facilitating dialogue aimed at resolving the impasse amicably.

The association also acknowledged the support of the National Executive Council and members of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), alongside several health-sector unions and professional bodies. These included the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, the Health Services Workers’ Union, the Emergency Medicine Society of Ghana, the Orthopaedic Association of Ghana, the Komfo Anokye Certified Registered Anaesthetist Association, the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists, and the Komfo Anokye Pharmacists Association.

The suspension brings an end to several days of industrial action at KATH, which disrupted healthcare services and affected patient access to consultations and other medical care. With the strike now halted, normal medical services are expected to gradually resume as negotiations continue.
