Coalition of Unemployed Allied Health Professionals Withdraw From COVID-19 Contact Tracing Teams
The Coalition of Unemployed Allied Health Professionals (COAHP) 2017 and 2018 batch, says they have withdrawn their services with the contact tracing team with immediate effect.
"Effective 13th April, 2020, all members who volunteered to do contact tracing, sample taking and testing nationwide have withdrawn their services in the COVID-19 teams," a statement signed by their General Secretary, Vincent Amponsah Gyamfi said.
They have therefore asked all their members involved in the exercise to stay at home and not render their services to the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health again until their demands are met.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, Vincent Amponsah Gyamfi explained that as part of their agreement to work with the Ministry to work with the COVID-19 team, they were promised to be employed by the Ministry, but they have failed to honor their part of the bargain.
"We have not been treated fairly," adding that they are worried about the treatment meted out to them.
"So we have asked all our members numbering over a thousand who volunteered to work with the COVID-19 team to withdraw their services until further notice," he said.
