Just as doctors in public sector health facilities entered the second stage of their road map to mass resignation, doctor friends, relatives and close associates had to put in an emergency call for the doctor (name withheld) to be rushed to the security facility for an emergency surgery to be performed to save the life of the female doctor.
But doctors at the facility told the Daily Graphic that they were performing their responsibilities and that they were treating patients and not professionals.
The doctor was rushed to the facility last Friday with intestinal obstruction and had an emergency surgery performed on her.
The female doctor is currently recuperating at the Yaa Asantewaa Ward which is meant for lady officers and wives of officers of the Ghana Armed Forces.
