GHANA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION UNHAPPY ABOUT LEAKED STATEMENT

The General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association Dr.Frank Serebour says the petition the Ghana Medical Association presented to the Government to institute an inquest into the death of the late President John Evans Atta Mills was not expected to be made public. Speaking on DAYBREAK Kapital, Mr. Serebour indicated that the Ghana Medical Association did not issued the petition through the media or at a secret place  but met formally with the president at the castle to congratulate him on his new position as the first gentleman of the land and extend their condolence to him for loosing his superior.  He further stated that they then presented an official petition to the president to institute an inquest into the unfortunate incident which occurred on the 24th of July, 2012 at the 37 military hospital in Accra so as to prevent such occurrence if it true that the president was not handled well at the health facility which is being speculated by some section of the general public. He stated further that the president thanked then and promised to discuss the petition with his cabinet and if they find it necessary and prudent, they will yield to their request by instituting a committee to probe into the demise of the late president. He however admitted that they are quite surprised about how the letter got onto the public domain and will check within themselves to know how the letter got to the press and the public.
