Tamale Teaching Hospital staff call off strike after vigilante attack

The strike was declared after the forceful eviction of the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, Dr. Kolbilla David, by a group of activists belonging to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The workers in a meeting with the Northern Regional Minister Salifu Saeed had said they will consider returning to work if a police post is established at the hospital, perpetrators of the lawlessness are arrested and an unqualified apology is rendered to the CEO.

The ringleader of the attack, Baba Alhassan, has been arrested and given bail. A team of police personnel have deployed to the facility.
