There is a saying that how you sell a product is how they will buy it from you. Another adage says that whatever is dear to you, you will guard it jealously.<\/p>\n
We have followed with keen interest the discriminations of the Ministry of Health and the deliberate attempts of some greedy people who want to sabotage our profession for reasons best known to them. We have also been patient enough for the ministry to address our grievances but to no avail.<\/p>\n
If the public sector is choked, the medical laboratory is never choked. More extra professionals are needed to provide quality and essential healthcare services to Ghanaians and to reduce the turnaround time for patients who visit the labs.<\/p>\n
Since the year 2012, we, the Medical Laboratory Science graduates (non-bonded) have been abandoned and sidelined. Other healthcare professionals have been employed in successive years but our members have not been engaged. We have exhausted all the diplomatic measures available to us but to no avail.<\/p>\n
We cannot, under this deliberate discrimination, frustration and desperation to get employed accept the offer of nation builders corps (NABCO) when there are vacancies for our engagement as professionals.<\/p>\n
If with our license and training as Medical Laboratory Scientists we accept 700ghc from the government then how much would private facilities pay us? Is the government aware of the huge sums of money spent on our training as professionals and the stress we had to go through? What is this inhumane treatment?<\/p>\n
Think of it. We have attended school. Got trained as professionals. Have our licenses. The government that is supposed to employ and pay us says the public sector is choked. But the same government has space in the lab to engage us for the same work and pay us 700ghc? No, Sir!<\/p>\n
If there are spaces in the laboratory to engage our services for 700ghc monthly allowance, then what prevents the government from employing us as full-time workers to get what we deserve?<\/p>\n
We are never going to accept the attempts to throw dust into our eyes. If they like, they can engage the services of market women in the medical laboratory and put the life of Ghanaians at risk.<\/p>\n
We are by this communiqu\u00e9 calling on and encouraging all the unemployed Medical Laboratory Scientists never to belittle themselves and accept the cheap labor government wants us to render.<\/p>\n
Respectfully,<\/p>\n
Cephas K. Akortor, MLS.
\nOn behalf of all the unemployed MLS.<\/p>\n
