Dr Erica Ntiamoah Mensah (L) and Dr Ekua Amoakoh
A medical doctor and member of the New Patriotic Party’s Communications Team, Dr Ekua Amoakoh, recently engaged in a heated debate over the posting of medical officers in the country.
Dr Amoakoh claimed that medical officers have been left in a state of uncertainty with no clear indication on when they will be posted.
“For the first time in years, medical officers have had to wait for one whole year at home with no sign of posting,” she wrote on her X page.
Her remarks were met with criticisms from Dr Ntiamoah Mensah, who accused her senior of politicising the matter.
“Did that one year start in January? Please don’t politicise the plight of people who are already frustrated,” she replied.
In a follow-up post, the junior doctor questioned the sincerity of Dr Amoakoh’s concerns.
“This politics of a thing! It’s very annoying to see people try to score points with what affects you directly. Please, let’s have reforms rather than shabby politics,” she added.
The exchange intensified when Dr Amoakoh retorted, “Sadly, English comprehension is an issue for you here.
“We gave clearance on time, made post graduate training free, gave the most favorable conditions of service ever but we endeavour to do more.”
Dr Ntiamoah Mensah then replied, “I won’t go on the tangent of insults. I was raised better than that. The message is simple, don’t politicise the plight of your own colleagues when you were given power and didn’t do much about it.”

You’re a Dr. Even if it was slated for March, isn’t that too late??? That’s about 9 months?
