The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) has been ordered to immediately call off its indefinite strike action.
The order comes from the National Labour Commission (NLC), which described the industrial action as unlawful and not in compliance with the provisions of Ghana’s labour laws.
The NLC, in a statement issued on Saturday, June 6, 2026, said the decision to embark on the strike was communicated through a letter dated June 5, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), with copies sent to key government officials including the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Health.
“According to the notice, KADA is displeased with some operational and administrative decisions/actions and for these the Association has declared the industrial action.”
The Commission, however, noted that the notice failed to comply with the legal procedures governing the declaration of industrial action in Ghana.
“KADA is advised that the notice was improperly served because it was not compliant with the relevant provisions of the Labour Law. Consequently, the Commission in exercise of its powers under section 139(d) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) directs KADA to call off the strike immediately as the action contravenes sections 162 and 163 of Act 651,” the NLC ordered.
The statement further summoned parties involved to appear before the Commission on Wednesday, 10th June, 2026 at 2pm for a hearing of the issues in dispute
