It is well established, welders don’t supervise carpenters!

@dr_bandak Dr, we said, it was never about access but the headship.

🫢🫢

@jnrjust_ice the exchange of words between the two was unfortunate.

@dasaa_frank Not unfortunate, very disrespectful on their path.

Life is so funny😂. Laboratory physicians literally instituted the Medilab program in our country and now see how some are calling laboratory medicine a useless field of medicine🤣. Same way the anesthetists are bullying anaesthesiologists smh🤣.

@jnrjust_ice that’s unfortunate.

@dasaa_frank that might not be your sentiment and i am glad it isn’t but a lot of your colleagues are calling the LP program run by the GCPS useless.

@ko_agyapongMD @dr_berkai yes, the head was appointed few weeks ago. who is a licensed MLS. he has worked over 20 years, with multiple postgraduate degrees and Dr. MLS. why are they fighting him to be head when the management has appointed someone?

@dr_berkai Both can be heads. To be determined by the leadership of the facility

Point 4…Chale that be hard ! Hmmmmm

@alphiemayiseen @_iamsamani The management has appointed a lab scientist as the head of the department. The physicians are not happy one of them were not appointed. why are they going on strike if we can also lead the central lab?

You didn’t finish reading the memo on your right. The HEFRA registrar went further to state that in primary, secondary and tertiary labs, the leader can be EITHER a LABORATORY MEDICINE SPECIALIST or a Licensed BIOMEDICAL SCIENTIST. He also stated that the Headship of the Laboratory in those facilities are to be determined by the facilities’ Leadership.

“The person who is supposed to man or supervise the lab must be a MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENTIST per the regulator and the HEFRA Act (Act 829), the person who is to head or supervise a laboratory must be a licensed medical laboratory scientist (MLS).” MEDICAL DOCTOR & FORMER CEO, Greater Accra regional hospital (RIDGE) If you want to head the lab come and do MLS.D thanks.

@ChimDrag how many health professionals were available then? do you know the number of allied health professionals under the council? I don’t know how you will feel when we finally get a council? very soon, we have MLSC 😊

For all the fowl languages against medical doctors , it was this same Doctors who allowed , consented to the Creation of Allied Health Professions. So, what's the fuss about gate keeping?They helped you become a Profession, then you turnaround and throw stones at them..

@___Eclampsia They know where the lab keys are. They can open the lab to work. We are just stewards of the space.

Your best shot is to lock the lab and take the keys home

But why would you remove a rightly appointed HOD.

@drgyimah it is good you have acknowledged. all these started in February and the intended strikes. Koda strike was never about the quality of results and access to the space. the pathologists and others have access to the lab 🥼. It is unfortunate the MLSs also intend to strike nationwide

If the HoD of the Central Laboratory, a Lab Scientist, is removed to be replaced by a Physician, then it changes the whole conversation. My position remains that if there’s a vacancy in leadership positions, all qualified professionals should be in the running - LP or Lab Scientist.

@PJosaiah 😂😂😂

We won’t lock the lab ooo Let the LPs come and do the work Simple as that

The innocent patient suffers at the end. next week is too longgggg

We will not coorporate with any imposed leadership outside the approved leadership framework. We have been quiet for far too long. #Wecannotfail

The difference between the credibility of the labs done at the central lab of korle bu and those done outside is COMMISSION. Nothing more nothing less. #laboratoryfreedom #TheLabMustLeadTheLab

@metrotvgh They management has taken a unilateral decision by telling the duly appointed HoD to step aside. The current hod Dr Omari is a lab scientist with over 20 years working experience.

Korle Bu doctors suspend strike after talks. Click here for more stories👇 metrotvonline.com #MetroNews #metrotvonline

@mikelyJK @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @_iamsamani @UdsMelssa @fgmelsa you know right. we remain HIGH ALERT. we cannot fail the patients.

@dasaa_frank @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @_iamsamani @UdsMelssa @fgmelsa The game is on 😹🔥

The strike was called off because the management has taken a UNILATERAL and unlawful decision to remove the duly appointed HoD (Central Lab), Dr Omari (MLS). @JoyNewsOnTV @tv3_ghana @_iamsamani @UdsMelssa @fgmelsa

It’s World Hand Hygiene Day! Clean hands save lives. It's that simple. This year, we’re calling on all health workers to take action and make hand hygiene a priority every single day. Wash your hands. Protect your patients. Be the difference. #WorldHandHygieneDay

@F_Edzeamey I’m hearing the lab manager has been told to step aside. The who issue was never abt wrong results and validating, it was about headship. There’re a number of units within the central lab and if one LP is stationed at a unit p/shift, we need about 45 for a day’s work. do è maths

So it’s not only about validating results; they also want to head the medical labs. The medical laboratory scientists at Korle Bu must resist this with all their might.
