The Forum for Governance and Justice (FGJ) wishes to condemn in the strongest terms the Godless and insensitive remarks by the President of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Dr. Emmanuel Adom Winful.
We fully associate ourselves with the sentiments expressed by KSM and entreat faith-based, civil society, and human rights organisations to join the call for the resignation of Dr. Emmanuel Adom Winful as GMA President.
The FGJ believes that Dr. Winful lost the moral and ethical basis to lead a profession devoted to saving lives when he said that “people die anyway” and so if the doctors’ strike results in deaths, there is nothing wrong with it.
Ghanaians must be scandalised by Dr. Winful’s gross disregard for their pain and suffering. At a time when many ordinary Ghanaians are suffering as a result of a needless and illegal strike action, one would think that the chief instigator of this illegality would be sympathetic to the plight of the victims of the strike. Rather, Dr. Winful elected to make such wicked and insensitive comments.
As we await the resignation of the President of the GMA, we hope and pray that our doctors will bring an end to the strike, which violates the right of the citizen to healthcare.
The FGJ believes that the GMA needs to do the morally and ethnically right thing; return to the wards, return to the hospitals, and respect the laws of our land.
Signed
Dr. Clement A. Apaak
