Health Minister Joseph Yieleh Chireh has been granted a leave of absence by President John Mills.
This was disclosed to Joy News by Communications Minister Haruna Iddrisu who has been asked to take provisional oversight of a ministry now in 'chaos'.
Doctors have withdrawn their services and have vowed not to accept even emergency cases at the various public hospitals.
Pharmacists are also threatening strike following botched negotiation on the SSSS.
It appeared rather unusual that the sector minister would voluntarily proceed on leave during a period like this.
But Iddrisu insists there is nothing wrong with the decision.
He explained Yieleh Chireh had long requested for his leave even before the doctors announced their strike and the president granted his wish.
He is expected to be back after a week.
