From Ghana-
The Bishop of the Koforidua Diocese of the Anglican Church, Rt. Rev. Francis Benjamin Quashie, has appealed to the striking members of the Ghana Medical Association(GMA) to return to work for the sake of the sick and the poor to prevent avoidable deaths.
He also called on the Government to take the strike serious and help find a solution to it and advised political activists to stop calling the doctors names, explaining that , such names as “mass murderers “ and “charlatans “ are not helping the situation and appealed to all Ghanaians to be courteous to each other.
Bishop Quashie was speaking at a thanksgiving service organised at the Koforidua St. Peter’s Cathedral to climax the 30th anniversary of the Diocese on Sunday at Koforidua.
He said the 30 years of the Diocese has seen a lot of success and challenges but God had always seen the church through and urged the members not to allow the challenges to discourage them but rather motivate them to work harder.
Bishop Quashie said currently, the church needed ten additional reverend ministers and by the end of the year, many priests would be hitting the compulsory retirement age of 70 and therefore urged parents to encourage their wards to offer themselves for the priesthood.
