OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC @JDMahama AND THE HONOURABLE MINISTER FOR HEALTH @KMAkandoh

[Dr. Samuel Sesah @samuel_sesah]

My take on Medical Doctors refusing posting:

1. The medical doctors are not mandated to work for GHS after housemanship. Therefore accepting postings is an individual choice.
2. Government (employer) is also not mandated to employ medical doctors after housemanship. Therefore Drs cannot tell the employer where they want to work.
3. Then comes in the "Who needs who the most" factor.
4. Most medical doctors are from the elite class who can easily survive even without posting or employment. They have vast opportunities an the private sector and outside the country.
5. Unfortunately for Government, he needs people to manage its facilities. His options is to recruit PAs in place of the medical doctors or to import Drs from elsewhere.
6. And Government has sat down ignorantly to allow the Drs to strategically suppress the PAs growth and numbers. They intelligently introduce GEMP and gave PAs the priority just to weaken the PA profession. Importing Drs too comes at a higher cost.
7. Short term solution is to Negotiate with the Drs and giving them incentives to accept postings.
8. Long term solution is to 1. Enhance the training and growth if PAs in the system. This will reduce Complacency on the side of Drs and prevent them from holding Government at ransom in all their engagements. Pure daylight blackmail.
2. Reintroduce district scholarships to support children from less endowed communities and districts to pursue medicine. These are the once who will accept postings to the hinterlands. You don't expect an East Legon Dbee son to accept posting to work at Bumgrugu Yooyoo.

🚨 Physician Assistants urges @JDMahama to post 5,000 PAs to boost healthcare & cut unemployment. At the Stand Out Conf. 2025, leaders inspired PA students to lead, collaborate & drive change in Ghana’s health system

@mohgovgh Why not Posting Physician Assistants Hon. Minister

[Junior Physician Assistants @JPAAG24]

Good morning @mohgovgh @JDMahama @KMAkandoh @AfenyoMarkin

When is the government posting Physician Assistants previously called Medical Assistants?

We haven't been posted since 2019

@JPAAG24 @mohgovgh @JDMahama @KMAkandoh In my private practice, I've received many referrals from peripheral facilities where a nurse saw the patient managed and referred. Meaning, cases are seen by unqualified professionals. Mostly, they misdiagnosed and mismanage the patient. Meanwhile physician assistants are home.

[Junior Physician Assistants @JPAAG24]

Good morning @mohgovgh @JDMahama @KMAkandoh @AfenyoMarkin

This is to remind you that Physician Assistants previously called Medical Assistants are part of the Health Cadres if you've forgotten.

We haven't been posted since 2019

QUESTION OF THE DAY

"Is the health sector unemployment crisis a reflection of deliberate neglect by the government, or does it stem from systemic inequalities in recruitment?"

#postphysicianassistantsnow

[Junior Physician Assistants @JPAAG24]

Ghana can't ignore unemployed Physician Assistants while lamenting long hospital waits and poor healthcare. Since 2019, we've been sidelined. Grant financial clearance now so we can serve.

📍📍📝POINT OF CORRECTION 📝📍📍❌❌❌❌❌❌

Our attention has been drawn to a misleading reportage by a journalist at @utvghana describing Physician Assistants as "small nurses sitting with doctors in the consulting room".

[Junior Physician Assistants @JPAAG24]

We urge UTV Ghana to Issue a public apology and Correct the misinformation promptly.

Let's promote respect for all healthcare professionals and share accurate information. #RespectPhysicianAssistants #AccurateInfoMatters

@CitizenTechiman @CheEsquire All well and good
Is Mr Albert going to reduce the price at which he sells his imported goods ?

If not , he’s made a profit of 30,000 cool chop. Meanwhile the ordinary man like me , who’s paying retail prices, sees no difference in my cost of living !
