However, Hon Akandoh has urged the GHS to approach the matter with compassion and leniency.
As emphasised by the Minister, he believes that both he and the government welcome divergent views and constructive criticism as part of a healthy democratic culture.
He once again reiterated his commitment to encouraging tolerance and openness to diverse opinions within the health fraternity.
The Minister further appealed to all health workers to express their concerns and opinions responsibly and respectfully.
However, he advised against the use of insults or unprofessional language, stating that such conduct undermines the growth and harmony of the health sector.
Constructive dialogue, he said, is key to addressing challenges and promoting the collective welfare of health professionals.
