Ghanaian YouTuber Scanty has raised concerns about the salaries of doctors in the country, saying they are paid too little for their work.

Scanty shared on social media that one of his doctor friends earns only GH¢7,000 a month, which he believes is too low given the economic situation in Ghana.

They argued that doctors work long hours, save lives, and face significant responsibilities in the country's poor healthcare system, making GH¢7,000 insufficient.

However, others disagreed, stating that GH¢7,000 is a decent salary in Ghana and compared it to what other professionals earn, pointing out that many people in different industries make far less.
