The Komfo Anokye Doctors' Association (KADA) has suspended its indefinite strike action over the suspension of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo.
The suspension of the strike follows the intervention by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the hospital board, Management of the hospital and other key stakeholders.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 and signed by KADA Chairman Dr. Michael Leat, the association said concerns about the impact of a prolonged strike on patient care and public health also informed its decision to halt the action and continue dialogue.
“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The doctors had withdrawn emergency and outpatient services after the government suspended Dr Baidoo amid controversy over congestion and patient care challenges at the hospital.
KADA thanked Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Hospital Board, management and the Ghana Medical Association for their efforts toward resolving the dispute and pledged to continue engaging stakeholders on the issues that led to the industrial action.
Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, located in Kumasi, is Ghana’s second-largest teaching hospital and serves as the main referral facility for the Ashanti Region and northern parts of the country.
