Tensions within Ghana’s health sector continue to escalate as the Junior Doctors Association of Ghana (JDA) has announced plans to withdraw its services beginning Tuesday, 7th October 2025. According to the association, more than 200 junior doctors have been working for between 10 and 14 months without receiving salaries. In addition, several medical officers who were previously on the government payroll have had their salaries halted without explanation. The JDA stressed that it would no longer tolerate what it described as the continued exploitation of junior doctors. The group, made up of nearly 7,000 health workers, is also demanding the payment of salaries after working for close to 10 months without compensation.
