Doctors at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have called off their strike after reaching an agreement with management over tensions at the facility’s Central Laboratory.
The Korle Bu Doctors Association (KODA) announced the decision in a notice dated Monday, May 4, 2026, just hours after doctors had withdrawn Out-Patient Department (OPD) services.
According to the association, the strike was suspended following a meeting with hospital management, where assurances were given to address the ongoing disagreements between laboratory physicians and medical laboratory scientists.
KODA said the move was necessary to allow laboratory physicians to return to work and restore cooperation within the Central Laboratory.
The association emphasized that peaceful collaboration between the two groups is crucial to delivering quality healthcare at the hospital.
Doctors have now been directed to resume OPD services from Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
The decision is expected to bring relief to patients, as the earlier withdrawal of services had disrupted care due to unresolved tensions over laboratory operations and professional roles.
KODA added that it remains committed to patient safety and upholding high professional standards at the hospital.
