Staff at the Adansi North Health Directorate in the Ashanti Region are on strike, protesting alleged encroachment on their property. The workers are dressed in black and red and have occupied the facility to voice their dissatisfaction over claims that a private developer has taken a portion of the health facility's land for a hotel project.
District Health Promotion Officer Eric Karkari stated that traditional leaders informed the Directorate through a letter that the land had been leased to the private developer, who has already begun construction. This alleged encroachment could impact the health facility's operations, posing risks to both staff and clients. Karkari warned that the workers would continue their strike until the issue is resolved.
Adansi North District Presiding Member Akwasi Afoakwah acknowledged the workers' concerns and said the matter would be escalated to the appropriate authorities to resolve the dispute and restore normal operations at the facility.
