Komfo Anokye Doctors suspend strike after Asantehene’s intervention
The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) has officially suspended its ongoing industrial action, bringing much-needed relief to patients and healthcare stakeholders in the region.
According to an official press release issued by the association on June 9, 2026, the suspension takes effect today, June 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
A Royal Intervention
The breakthrough comes after what the association described as “fruitful engagements” and a timely intervention by His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In the statement, KADA expressed profound gratitude to the King and the hospital administration for fostering dialogue and charting an amicable path forward.
While KADA emphasized that it remains dedicated to ensuring all outstanding issues are fully resolved, the association noted that the potential impact of a prolonged strike on public health was a heavy factor in their decision.
”The safety and well-being of patients and the broader public interest remain central to our responsibilities, and these have informed our decision to suspend the action and continue the dialogue,” the association stated.
With the strike suspended, full clinical services are expected to resume, while leadership continues round-table discussions with management to permanently resolve the underlying issues.
