Some doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital are threatening to skip work as a result of the senior staff association of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company of Ghana's (NEDCo) sit-down strike since they have been sleeping in the dark for days.
Workers at NEDCO are currently on strike, calling for the dismissal of Osmani Aludiba Ayuba as managing director due to non-performance.
But the strike is beginning to bite hard, as some workers and doctors at Tamale Teaching Hospital have started feeling the discomfort in their homes
The health workers' lives are made miserable because all of their perishable foods, including fresh tomatoes and meat, have gone bad in their refrigerator.
Speaking to journalists in Tamale, the irate health workers claimed that their power had gone out and that they had tried everything to get NEDCO officials to fix the problem, but to no avail.
Dr. Gideon Ansah, a health officer, yelled aggressively at the NEDCO personnel to replace their lights immediately or face being forced to go on strike.
